: Summarize your main points and restate your thesis in a new way, leaving the reader with a final thought rather than just repeating your introduction. 3. Formatting and Style

: Draft a "skeleton" of your essay. This should include your introduction, main body paragraphs, and conclusion . 2. Drafting the Content

: Choose a topic that is specific enough to cover thoroughly but broad enough to find sufficient information.

: Each paragraph should focus on a single main idea that supports your thesis. Use the PEEL method (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) to ensure clarity.
