Essay Topics - What To Write About

Essay Topics - What To Write AboutIn the beginning of my career as a college professor, I discovered that many of my students were actually very poor writers, and all they seemed to have for essay topics was some sort of vague idea about what they wanted to write about. The result was often an essay that was nowhere near as good as it could have been. As I wrote my second book on writing, I realized that the problem wasn't a lack of ideas, but rather that the students were simply following a set of rules that weren't really helpful.Now that I teach college students for a living, I'm able to see this problem at first hand, and it's not hard to understand why so many students are getting good quality in essays by simply making a few tweaks to their essay topic and essay structure. First, I always tell my students that they should create an essay with a main theme or a concept, and then it should then be subdivided into subtopics that deal with each of those themes. This creates an outl ine that's far easier to follow and that always gets the ideas flowing.What happens when the student sees an interesting story? What happens when the students find themselves faced with a problem that can't be solved using the ordinary techniques of writing? The first thing to do is to find out the subject matter and the theme of the piece. This will help guide the student's course of action, as well as helping the students' ideas to flow more smoothly through the essay.Once they've decided on what topic they want to write about, you'll want to start breaking the essay down into sentences and sentence fragments. It doesn't have to be a complex idea, just an idea that makes sense within the context of the whole essay. If the idea is interesting enough, then some amount of time will be spent on the sentence fragments, while the main idea will be the main point of the essay. This usually includes several different fragments, such as '- that.'Most students will generally follow some dif ferent styles of writing in the essays they are required to write, but there are still some major problems. One problem is that the students end up writing everything in a specific way, as a way to 'prove' to the professor that they really know how to write an essay. The problem with this is that the professor rarely ever finds a piece that is good enough, and he's not going to be impressed by a class of students who has too many attempts at good writing.The most important thing for the student to remember is that they don't have to be good at everything. An essay can be finished, just because you've decided to do it, and the professor can dismiss it simply because you can't find anything that fits within the framework of your writing style. You must learn to write each topic correctly if you want to make it out of the school as a good writer. It can be frustrating to get good essays out of a class where there are too many students who just aren't comfortable with writing.If you fol low these steps, you'll find that you come up with an overall structure for the essay that works, and then you can get started on creating a strong introduction and conclusion. In order to get a decent grade, you must then begin to figure out how to turn those pieces into individual paragraphs. And finally, you'll need to make sure that each of those paragraphs has a strong thesis statement that has enough information to support that statement, without being too wordy.If you can follow these three steps, you can find some essay topics that fit into your writing style and get some solid ideas into the paper. You'll soon discover that once you learn the basics of writing, you can create many types of essays and are well on your way to the life of a good writer.
