Component 1: essay plan (approximately 500 WORDS) You are required to write a 500 word plan of the essay (3500 words) that you will write. AN ESSAY PLAN IS ESSENTIALLY a written, structured OUTLINE of the essay. Writing an essay plan should help you to organise your thoughts and ideas and the argument that you wish to develop. Careful planning will enable you to follow the plan so that you will write a logically structured essay that answers the question, satisfies the module learning outcomes and demonstrates wide and in-depth reading and analytical thinking. An essay consists of three components: an introduction, the body and a conclusion. The essay plan should provide an OUTLINE of what is to be included in each of these areas including all the sources that will be used to develop discussion in greater depth in the main essay. • INTRODUCTION – this sets out the aim of the essay, the argument to be presented and an outline of what will be discussed. The introduction should demonstrate to the reader that you understand the question. • DEVELOPMENT: this is where you will build your argument. Paragraphs should be logically sequenced to build a persuasive argument. As a general rule each paragraph should contain: - a topic sentence (i.e. a general sentence that identifies the main idea / argument to be discussed within the paragraph) - evidence/examples/elaboration: this is the main section of the paragraph that supports the topic sentence. - Evaluation: the closing sentence/s of the paragraph that evaluate why the point/s discussed and analysed are important and contribute to the question and the overall argument. Provide a link between this paragraph and the next. • CONCLUSION - (i.e. a concluding sentence/s that summarises the discussion and provides a synthesis of your thinking. It should provide the reader with a clear overview of what you have argued. No new information should be contained within the conclusion. The essay plan should include references. All claims, data and assertions should be substantiated. All referencing should be in accordance with the CU Harvard style of referencing. It is important that the essay plan demonstrates reference to a wide range of sources, for example research papers, journal articles, books, edited book chapters and policy documents Component 2: essay (approximately 3500 WORDS) You are required to write an essay of approximately 3500 words in length to the Topic.
