I like doing essays. It can be pretty hard putting all the ideas together, but you can have so much information and learn from it. My most favorite part of doing an essay, is the research part. You can find all the information and read about the specific topic. Also what I like is that you can express your point of view. The main challange that I have writing an essay, is to be able to write and put all the information together to make sence. The introduction of an essay and the conclusion is the easiest. This is when you get to introduce what your essay is going to be about and the conclusion, I like to write my point of view.

I feel effective planning is the start to a good essay. a essay should be well planned and very precise. if your ideas are scattered and unorgainzed your essay will reflect it. It is important to find your purpose and idea the context and really lay out a foundation to your essay. Orgainzing your ideas before hand also helps in the flow of your essay and makes it easier to really lay out a cleanly written essay as opposed to putting your ideas down in a rough draft and trying to orgazine it later.   i really used the orgaziner alot this year. it helped me effecitly plan my paragraphs and write a piece that flowed extremely cleanly. it helped me lay out a puropose and strive to achieve that purpose that i had written down.

     Effective planning while writing an essay can save people a lot of time, headaches, and frustration – especially when writing about a topic with vast amounts of information available. For myself, I sometimes find it difficult to follow my writing plans. Once I start writing I can sometimes lose track of my plan and start ranting about information in the order that it’s coming out in my brain, but the plan I have made definitely helps me to get started on the writing process, which for me is the hardest part of any writing assignment. Once I have finished writing I can simply compare my plan to my finished piece, making sure I have included everything. Planning out your writing can also help to make sure you include all of the information that you wanted to. Simply jotting down all the information you could find, and starting your essay before planning it out can lead to a disorganized piece, lacking information and explanations.

a) Why is effective planning important to essay writing?



It is very important to effectively plan before starting to write an essay. This is because without a structured plan for an essay it is easy to allow your mind to wander and along with that your ideas will wander. In order for an essay to be effectively structured, based on your topic you should write your thesis followed by your three main ideas for the body of your essay. It is also a good idea to not start by writing your introduction. it is a better idea to start with the conclusion of your essay and then finish with the introduction. this is because if you start with your introduction with a certain idea in mind, you may change that idea before the essay is finished and then you will need to rewrite your entire introduction. if you begin with the conclusion your intro will write itself based on the contents of the body and conclusion. This order may not make sense to everyone, but it allows for effective essay writing without spending extra time writing or rewriting any of it.





b) Discuss your own ideas about essay writing and your essay writing process (i.e. likes, dislikes, strategies, challenges, your approach, etc.)

preparing for an essay is the most important thing to do.  without preperation it would be just one long writing of unorganized information.  Viewing the sites and checking their sources will give you a better chance of having the right information as well.  the research and rough draft are a big deal because you use it as the outline for the essay, which givees you what you need to finish your essay.  reading aloud and reading over your work is also good preperation for it leavese less chances for mistakes.
