Write the Essay

Once you have an outline, it’s time to start writing. Write based on the outline itself, fleshing out
your basic skeleton to create a whole, cohesive and clear essay.

You’ll want to edit and re-read your essay, checking to make sure it sounds exactly the way you
want it to. Here are some things to remember:

 Revise for clarity, consistency and structure.


 Support your thesis adequately with the information in your paragraphs. Each paragraph
should have its own topic sentence. This is the most important sentence in the paragraph
that tells readers what the rest of the paragraph will be about.
 Make sure everything flows together. As you move through the essay, transition words
will be paramount. Transition words are the glue that connects every paragraph together
and prevents the essay from sounding disjointed. You can even use a list of transition
words to help get you started.
 Reread your introduction and conclusion. Will the reader walk away knowing exactly
what your paper was about?

In your introduction, it’s important to include a hook. This is the line or line that will lure a
reader in and encourage them to want to learn more. For more on this, check out how to write a
hook. And, to help you formulate a killer conclusion, scan through these conclusion examples.

8. Check Spelling and Grammar

Now the essay is written, but you're not quite done. Reread what you've written, looking out for
mistakes and typos.

 Revise for technical errors.


 Check for grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. You cannot always count on spell
check to recognize every spelling error. Sometimes, you can spell a word incorrectly but
your misspelling will also be a word, such as spelling "from" as "form."
 Another common area of concern is quotation marks. It’s important to cite your sources
with accuracy and clarity. Follow these guidelines on how to use quotes in essays and
speeches.
 You might also want to consider the difference between quoting, paraphrasing and
summarizing. Quoting is reserved for lines of text that are identical to an original piece of
writing. Paraphrasing is reserved for large sections of someone else’s writing that you
want to convey in your own words. Summarizing puts the main points from someone
else’s text into your own words.
