ok i have this amazing tutor, this is what she said:

an essay is: AN ARGUMENT YOU WANT TO WIN

INTRO:
1. restate the question + 1 or 2 other sentances/syllabus terms
2. introduce the texts
3. techniques are used
4. relate back to Q.

BODY 1
1. topic sentance
2. technique --> quote --> analysis
3. one more snetance of analysis
4. (repeat steps 2 + 3)
5. (repest steps 2 +3)
6. relate back to the Q

BODY 2 (do the same)

BODY 3 (do the same)

BODY 4 (do the same)

CONCLUSION
1. 2/3 sentances about belonging/question
2. sum up each text
3. RELATE BACK TO THE QUESITON

hope this helps

Re: How to write a BAND 6 essay?

The key to a good essay is that it flows nicely and is easy to read.
It makes it easier for markers to understand what you are trying to convey in your essay.

dont forget your essay structures.
SEXY
Statement (topic sentece- relates to question)
Explain (talk about it, obviously)
X-examples (can be quotes or what ever)
Y- why does this relate to the question (conclusion that relates back the the topic sentence or question being asked)

Also practice heeps

Re: How to write a BAND 6 essay?

I know we should relate back to the question, but how is the question. Repeating "and through Othello's jealousy and rage, Shakespeare demonstrates the nature of humanity" three times gets old real fast.

My English teacher also said for your concluding sentence in the paragraph you can either introduce the next paragraph's idea or relate back. So how do you introduce the next paragraph's point and how often should you do it?
