The main body of your essay will consist of paragraphs, which are akin to building blocks in the construction of your argument. Ensure that you:
• develop a discussion, informed by the key academics in the field, which answers the essay question
• demonstrates your knowledge of the field • offer exposition and evidence to develop your arguments. Evidence will be the references to seminal works and key empirical studies
• use relevant examples and authoritative quotes – however only use quotes for effect. Excessive quoting does not demonstrate your understanding of the field.
• if your question has multiple parts, consider using subheadings to break up the text into a logical structure.
When structuring your paragraphs, remember that a paragraph is a related group of sentences that develops one main idea. Each paragraph should contain:
• a topic sentence that states the main idea to be discussed
• supporting sentences, which explain and develop the point that you’re making
• evidence – your points should be supported by evidence from your readings
• analysis – analyze and interpret the evidence. Consider the implications, significance, and impact of what you have been discussing, and conclude the paragraph with a critical conclusion you have drawn from the evidence.
