Writing Essays


 

Step 2: Get your ideas down

There are many methods of getting your ideas down - listing, writing out in full your understanding of the essay, notes - any of these can be adapted to reach the same outcome as the mind-map method suggested here.

  • Read your notes on the subject and add to the map. If required to research, read one general text and add to the mind map. Your mind-map can end up looking very complicated, but this is not a problem as long as you can understand it.
