Use clear transitional sentences between paragraphs to show how your arguments connect. 3. Refinement

For persuasive or legal writing, use the IRAC method—Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion.

Use the PEA chain for body paragraphs: Point (make a claim), Evidence (provide facts/data), and Analysis (explain why it matters). 2. Drafting the Essay

For a standard essay, dedicate roughly 10% of your word count to the introduction, 10% to the conclusion, and 80% to the body paragraphs.

Reviewing previously written high-quality essays can help you understand how to structure your own work. To give you more specific advice, could you tell me: What is the topic or subject of the essay? What is the required word count or length? Is this a persuasive, analytical, or descriptive essay?
