Essay planning

This template divides the process of essay planning into three parts: introduction, main themes and conclusion and advises students about the sorts of material that might be included in each part. 

The form assumes that initial brainstorming has already taken place so students already have an idea of the overall content of the essay. They may need support in understanding and identifying terms like key themes and key debates.

Students could hand in this form as a cover sheet when they submit the essay.
