How To Write a Great Paper

hesaahell

If you are a struggling writer or know someone who is there are five categories that a tutor will focus on to help you get results.

1. Comprehension (shows understanding)

This tells your readers that you get it. You can read effectively, and in your writing, you can explain the themes and main points of the work you have read. There is a reason that this is first on the list because if you don’t understand what you are reading it is difficult to have an opinion or observation about it.

 2.  Insight (establish a clear thesis)

Once you demonstrate that you understand a work, you also need to make a relevant claim about it. A thesis statement is a concise statement that tells your audience the main point of your essay. The thesis statement always addresses the prompt if you are writing this in an English class or a standardized test. This is something that takes time and practice to do well.

3.  Organization  (paragraphs and structure) 

Interested readers are expecting good writing and that means it must be organized so that ideas flow easily. Pro tip: Use the thesis statement to tell your readers exactly what you will write about in the paragraphs that follow. For example, ” In Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado” he creates a mood of impending doom in the reader through his use of dramatic irony and the unreliable narrator.” 

4.  Support (Textual evidence)

Would you believe anything someone said just on their word alone? It’s the same in your writing, you need evidence for the claims you make about someone else’s writing. Short quotes that support your thesis will make your reader take you more seriously.

5. style (write in a clear, mature voice)

A style of writing occurs after lots of reading and writing practice, which can happen on your own or under the guidance of a tutor. Your style should make it clear you are confident and comfortable with the material you are writing about. You don’t have to be an older person to have a mature writer’s voice and that’s exactly what I offer my clients who sign up for my affordable and convenient online lessons.
