Blog Week 12A

When writing an essay, the first step is obvious. You must know what it is you will be writing about. You must conduct research, and gather as much information as possible. Once this is done, the next step is to piece this knowledge together, and make the body of the essay. You do the body first, just so that you can get all the information out there while it is fresh in your mind. It also allows free roam, when you are not restricted by guidelines put forward in the conclusion. After you get all the information down and organized, its time to conclude the essay. You simply boil down the body, and go over the key points discussed in it. Then you do pretty much the same thing to create the introduction. You give the reader an idea of what they are going to be reading, and enough information to set them up for the essay. The final step after this is to get a fresh pair of eyes on the paper. This process is peer review, and allows mistakes that would of otherwise been overlooked to be pointed out. If these steps are followed, then the end product should be a well written  essay.
