I knew that, Give me something I didn't know!!!

* Try writing a longer essay than you need, then cutting it down to size. This will help you to "tighten it up", including as many important points as you can while cutting out the fluff.

* Do your research before you develop the outline. It helps to know as much about the topic as you can first, and you might come up with a great idea for how to structure the essay while you're researching. * While researching, jot down notes from as many sources as possible that relate to your topic. Keep track of where the notes come from so that you can reference them properly when you write the essay. You don't need to use everything that you note down, but the more research you do, the more points you can choose from to strengthen your argument. * Be imaginative. Readers like to see something different, especially if they are teachers who have to read many essays on the same topic. For example: start with a striking statement or quote, then build the essay around proving that the initial statement was wrong (or right).
