Get to the point. State your answer to the question at the beginning of your essay. Less is more. You may not be able to say everything you want to say in 500-words. Identify the most important points, arguments, or bits of evidence. Write a paragraph for each one. Each paragraph should explain how this one point, argument, or bit of evidence supports your answer to the question. If the evidence you cited can be interpreted differently, tell the reader why your interpretation is better. No one cares what you think. Expository writing is not the same as expressing an opinion. For example, you may think Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback of all time, but to convince me you will need to list his accomplishments and explain why those accomplishments are more significant than other measures of greatness—like winning five rings. Your essay will probably contain description, analysis, and argumentation. An excellent essay will be mostly argumentation. Be specific. Saying, “Manning gave up a 10-6 lead at the half in Super Bowl XLIV and got blown out by the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII,” is better than saying, “Manning is a choke artist.” In most cases, it is better to use the active voice rather than the passive voice. Additionally, using simple syntax (subject, verb, object) forces you to think clearly and often improves one’s writing. “When you catch an adjective, kill it.” How would “America the Beautiful” sound if Bates wrote, “Those beautiful, awesome, gorgeous mountains,” instead of, “Purple mountain majesties?” Proofread. Good writing is normally the result of rewriting. please only use the sources I have provided and not any outside sources.
