More Ideas
Okay, so you know what you have to write about, but
where do you start? First, make a plan, including all related information.
That is the best and most effective way to map out what you are going
to say. Divide your information into sections. Arrange them in order of
your paragraphs. Never forget to write an introduction (what you're going
to say) and a conclusion (what you did say.) Now you know what you are
meaning to write about and how you will write it.
If you get stuck on a particular part of your paper,
skip it. Go on to your next paragraph and come back to it later. That
way your mind will be fresh. --Bree M
To write a great paper: always make sure you have
what you want to say. Don't talk gibberish and yet have nothing inside.
