- Writing topic sentencesEach paragraph opens with the one point it proves.
- Integrating quotes as evidenceIntroduce every quote, keep it short, and explain it.
- Analysing evidence instead of summarisingExplain how the evidence proves your point, not what happens.
- Writing a conclusion that isn't a repeatRestate the thesis in new words and say why it matters.
