The Golden Thread
Imagine a 'golden thread' running through your essay. Every paragraph should connect to this thread, which is your central thesis. If a paragraph doesn't help answer the question, cut it.
The PEEL Technique
Use PEEL to structure your paragraphs:
- P - Point: The topic sentence. What is this paragraph about?
- E - Evidence: Support your point with references, data, or quotes.
- E - Explanation: Analyze the evidence. Why does it matter? How does it support your point?
- L - Link: Connect back to the essay question or forward to the next paragraph.
Signposting
Use transition words to guide your reader. Words like 'However', 'Furthermore', 'Conversely', and 'Consequently' show the relationship between your ideas.
Check your own draft before you hand it in.

If you miss a minor detail in the instructions, you can lose 10-20% of your marks before the professor even reads your first sentence.
