1. Research: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic, making yourself an expert. Utilize the internet, the academic databases, and the library.
2. Analysis: Now that you have a good knowledge base, start analyzing the arguments of the essays you're reading. Clearly define the claims, write out the reasons, the evidence.
3. Brainstorming: Your essay will require insight of your own, genuine essay-writing-
brilliance. Ask yourself a dozen questions and answer them.
4. Thesis: Pick your best idea and pin it down in a clear assertion that you can write your entire essay around.
5. Outline: Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain.
6. Introduction: Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's
attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your thesis.
7. Paragraphs: Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your thesis. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support assertions with evidence, and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can.

9.MLA Style: Format your essay according to the correct guidelines for citation.
10. Language: You're not done writing your essay until you've polished your language by correcting the grammar, making sentences flow, incoporating rhythm, emphasis, adjusting the formality, giving it a level-headed tone, and making other intuitive edits
