I found an excellent article on the website History Today that gives insight into how to write an effective history essay. The author stresses how one must really think before writing an essay, and the bulk of the work occurs during the planning process. One must fully understand the question, be able to siphon out irrelevant details when researching, and try to be original. I believe this article will be very helpful to students writing any essay, especially for history. It provides explanations for what each paragraph should contain (while going beyond the standard 5-paragraph essay format forced down our throats in high school). It is worth it to peruse this webpage because it is written clearly and succinctly explains the best features of an essay. This would definitely be useful for a student who is struggling with essay formatting, or who wants to improve their planning, researching, and essay writing skills.
Super!
