Goals!

There are all kinds of goals to set in life, but the goals of writing a good essay are few enough to motivate you to complete your essay assignment more quickly and successfully.

Here are the goals you need to set:

1.  Read/Understand the assignment
2. Think of a thesis OR research a thesis (You can ask your teacher, classmate or search for a thesis in
     books or on the Web.)
3. Write an introduction stating your thesis
4. Write the number of body paragraphs required (1-2 for a 1 page essay, 2-3 for a 2 page essay and
     so on) using your reworded thesis in each one.
5. Write your conclusion focusing on how you used the thesis to explain your point of view.
6. PROOFREAD!

Once you set these goals, it will be easier to begin.........and ultimately finish your essay!
