Essay Writing: Analytical, Narrative, Compare + Contrast

Argumentative Essay

This is a brief tutorial expplaining the overview of an analytical essay. If you have ever felt 'stuck', and confused as to how to write an essay, then this is a good place to start. If you watch it, and then you are still confused, please come and see me, and we can figure out which parts are the trickiest, and then focus on those parts. I have the word document here with the script which I read, in case you wanted to slow things down and READ what was said... :)

This is a think-aloud... it's a demonstration. For anyone who has ever struggled with how to write an essay... watch this video, and then part 2/3... it will show you how to write an essay, from beginning to end. The purpose of this video, is to show you that almost no one ever, writes an essay from beginning to end without pondering, reflecting, editing, and debating along the way... there are so many things to work, and then rework while writing. That's what this video does - it's a demonstration, in 'real-time', of how to write an essay. Good luck! (the word document below, shows you how far we got, at the end of this video. The completed essay will accompany the next video :)

This is part 3 of 3. In this section we do the remaining 2 body paragraphs, the introduction, and the conclusion. Below, is the finished version of the essay. (Although it was not proof-read... so yes... there will still be things to fix)
