well heres something i learned this previous year, its called the 'house' technique. this is what you do. draw a house, with
- a basement
- first/second/third [depending on how many body paragraphs you have] floors.
- a roof/attic thing.
okay, basement is the opening. preview your opening in that and whatever.
now the floors are body paragraphs. so the first floor is your body paragraph. seconds your second body paragraph. etc.
now the roof/atic thing is the conclusion.
okay. now when your writing your essay, look back and put the Basment FIRST paragraph in the essay, The 1st floor, the second paragraph in the essay, the 2nd floor, the THIRD paragraph in the essay, and etc.. then the Attic is the last one, no matter what.
on the house you can write in there ideas and such. its acually a pretty good technique. jsut make sure every [body] paragraph looks like this.
intro. idea/resoning, idea/reasoning etc.. conclusion.
and your intro PARAGRAPH and conclusion PARAGRAPH have
an attention grabber/what the essay will be about [or an overview of the essay depending on if its the conclusion or intro]/conclusion.
GOOD LUCK!

the first type of paragraph is more complex. The second is probably the kind you will be asked to write if you have never written a formal essay before (how would they expect you to know more without this fabulous site? Okay maybe google. Or maybe in wki how. But in any case)
The introduction is always very general. It should be very appealing and more lighthearted of a sentence, to get readers intrigued. It should be targeted to a specific audience but more about life in general than your specific topic. The point overviews are mini introductions to each paragraph and should be less than a sentence long (see where I have point one, two three?), or exactly a sentence long. It may be easiest to list them in list format. At the end of your introduction you will get to the point and say exactly what you are trying to say or prove. In more complicated essays this is the thesis. You don't want to list examples of what you are proving. It must be something that you can argue and it must be specific.
Each body paragraph has an introduction and a conclusion which should repeat whatever the point is. This point should be something that supports whatever you are trying to prove or say in the essay.They should say the same thing but be written differently. Inside the introduction and conclusion are ideas that support the point. Each point must be proved with a more specific example.IF you were writing an essay based on some sort of text, the example would be a direct quotation or reference of this text.
This sounds very confusing, so I'll give you some examples. Your main idea could be "the internet is helpful" if you are writing something with a thesis this may be too vague so you would say instead "Since the internet has been created, the lives of the citizens in western society have been greatly improved". Your topic in your first paragraph could be "Everyone in western society with a computer is now much more informed than they were" your idea could be "Many people can seek advice online" Your example could be "there are advice cites, such as advicenators.com, where one can ask a question on anything and get results, such as how to write an essay" Your intro could be something like "In North America and Europe, citizens are using computers much more than they were."
Now for your conclusion. The last sentence, or few sentences, is something that sends a message to society as a whole. It should connect your essay back to the outside world in a more meaningful way. I guess if we were to follow with my examples, you could say something like "Now, considering how helpful computers are, very few could imagine their lives without it"
To write an outline, write down one of the example essays above (you know, intro, idea one, ect) and fill out what you would write for each category beside the heading.
