How to Write an Essay for & Against Wearing Uniforms at School
Essays that outline the positives and negatives of a topic may be written impartially so the reader can develop their own stance, or argumentatively so the reader may be persuaded to take the writer's position on the issue. Generally a teacher will clarify the preferred style. Either way, the essay must contain facts supporting the issue at hand and facts that stand against the matter. The most important thing to remember when writing an essay is to keep it orderly so it is understandable.

Gather particulars from research material to support both the cons and the pros of mandatory school uniforms. From these details, develop a personal opinion on the topic so the article contains direction.

Write the introduction. The introduction needs two things: a start that will hook the reader, and a thesis statement. A concrete detail, single fact, quote, or an axiom may work as a hook. The thesis is the sentence in the paragraph that specifies the essay's purpose.

Write the body of the essay. One paragraph should contain a fact that supports the wearing of school uniforms, and the subsequent one should support a fact that stands against the subject. A new supportive fact will appear in paragraph three, with a non-supportive fact appearing in paragraph 4, and so on.

4
Write the conclusion. The conclusion must restate the thesis and summarize the article's main points. If the essay's purpose was to persuade, personal opinions can be stated.

Tips & Warnings
It's important to have a personal opinion on the topic because it guides the tone of the paper. If the essay is to be persuasive in nature, the thesis must proclaim the stance the writer is taking. Essay lengths will determine the amount of information individual paragraphs contain. When proofreading, read the essay out loud. Mistakes are sometimes more noticeable to the ear than the eye.
Be sure to adhere to the instructor's guidelines when writing the essay.
