By the end of this session, you should have a better understanding of how to:
- critically examine approaches to structuring an essay
- consider how these features can be applied to other types of assignment
How you structure an assignment depends on a number of factors: the nature of the task and topic, your own preferences and line of thinking etc. In general, texts are well-strucutured when the contents are not only divided into paragraphs, but when the paragraphs themselves are sequenced in such a way that they show a coherent line of thought or argument. It is also helpful if the structure of the essay is made clear to the reader, for example, through the use of headings, topic sentences and clear signposting language.
