Make an outline. An outline will help structure your essay and make writing it easier. Be sure that you understand how long your essay needs to be. While some teachers are fine with the standard "5 paragraph essay" (introduction, 3 body paragraphs, conclusion), many teachers prefer essays to be longer and explore topics more in-depth. Structure your outline accordingly.

• 
  If you're not quite sure how all your evidence fits together, don't worry! Making an outline can help you figure out how your argument should progress.
  
• 
  You can also make a more informal outline that groups your ideas together in large groups. From there, you can decide what to talk about where.
  
• 
  Your essay will be as long as it needs to be to adequately discuss your topic. A common mistake students make is to choose a large topic and then allow only 3 body paragraphs to discuss it. This makes essays feel shallow or rushed. Don't be afraid to spend enough time discussing each detail!
