How do I write an introduction? How do I reference my work? A good essay begins with your argument outlined so you always have a focus point Each of your paragraphs will back up the argument outlined in your introduction Don´t worry! You may get half way through and realise your views have changed! Your introduction / argument can be changed at any time that is why it is a DRAFT!

Planning your answer Introduction – learners should briefly explain how they plan to answer the question, and state what their overall argument/point of view is. Main body of answer – every paragraph should directly address the question and should take the argument further. There should be a logical development from one paragraph to another. There should be an overall clear structure and organisation. Conclusion – this should grow out of and follow on from the argument and analysis in the main part of the answer. A direct answer to the question should be given and this needs to be substantiated and argued if this has not been done earlier in the answer

Significance? What is the question / problem? What is the context? (Basic information on WSC) DO NOT GO ON 2 SENTENCES MAX! What is the main argument you are going to make E.g. WSC was really significant WSC was mostly significant WSC was slightly significant WSC was not significant YOU DECIDE!
