Plan a leaving cert history essay using topic sentence

7/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Below is a resource for planning a leaving cert history essay using topic sentence. 

A topic sentence indicates the theme of a main body paragraph. The main themes of the essay should be signposted in the introduction. Usually, it is the first sentence of a paragraph, but not always. For example, it could be the last sentence of the previous paragraph. One topic sentence can be used for 1 or 2 main body paragraphs. 

Having considered the question, draft a set of topic sentences. The essay should contain between 4 and 6 topic sentences. For each topic sentence, list approximately 4 key terms to be used in the development. 

The conclusion can briefly summarise the main points of the essay. However, in order to go beyond summary marks [4], you must do more. I advise asking a question that will illicit an independent thought drawn from the facts in the essay. 

Once the plan is complete, begin writing your essay using information from your textbook, notes and online resources. 

For more tips on leaving cert history essay writing, refer to this target sheet.
