Planning Essays and Projects. Duncan Bunce Presentation by Duncan Bunce Edited by Dr Peter Jepson

Welcome  Ensure mobile phones are off  No eating in the classroom  You may take notes

Guidelines for Planning Step One:  Ensure that you have comprehensive notes from your lectures - read and précis notes - annotated slides - ask your Laws lecturer if you are unsure about anything

Guidelines for Planning Why is planning your essay beforehand crucial? It is like the ‘rehearsal’ before the main event.  Gives an outline of the essay’s answer/structure - your chosen sub-headings - whether you are answering the question - your (hopefully logical) argument - use of any sources Most importantly…that you don’t forget any crucial info. before the write-up and lose marks!

Guidelines for Planning Planning an essay is like preparing a sandwich… When you make a sandwich you need to plan first what will be in your sandwich. What type of bread you will use etc. The sandwich = your essay (They key is to plan and use the right ingredients to answer the Question)

Guidelines for Planning Examiners report that students fail examinations, not because of a lack of knowledge or ability, but because their essay loses the reader. ‘…the meandering paper, one that wanders…from summaries of concepts to counter-arguments…without a clear plan of logical progression.’ (Sandel M., Writing in Moral Reasoning, Harvard University 2000)

Guidelines for Planning How should I write-up my plan?  You can write it up in prose or bullet-point form; or  Create a mind-map… You can do this by hand…but there is Tony Buzan mind-map software on the College computer network.

Guidelines for Planning  Planning allows you to develop your ideas and the main points that will form your essay’s answer  Planning helps you develop an understanding for the subject area  Once a plan has been written, writing the essay should be straightforward

Suggestions  Contact your e-Mentor for some advice.  Ask another Laws student for ideas.  Ask or your Laws lecturer if you have any queries about an essay question  Read past essays in the essay competition for ideas:
