1000 word is super easy. Structure is key. If you have a solid outline, and you follow said structure, the rest falls into place. Let me give you a sample structure I often use in my essays.

First Paragraph -->
-Hook/Attention Grabber (this gets the reader interested) but keep it relative to the topic, of course.
-Introduce your topic
-Thesis, which is the KEY focus of your paper.
-Usually after the thesis, I put the topics of my 3/4 body paragraphs.

Next 3/4 Paragraphs are the body paragraphs.

They should all have a topic sentence, and some sort of support for the topic sentences. Do this for the next 3/4 paragraphs, depending on how long you decide to make it. Stuff like quotes and explanations of quotes are good for the body. Evidence, and support of your evidence and such.

After that's done, the final part is the conclusion. In this you pretty much summarize your whole essay. Don't be repetitive, but rather restate what you've covered in different words. A restatement of the thesis, but in similar and not the same words would be fine. And then any closing comments you'd have.

That's what I usually do for my essays. Hope it helps. Oh, and don't forget to bullshit.

Any tips? srs


Well firstly do not leave it to last minute to complete, the sooner you do it the sooner you finish it. Make sure you research the topic of the essay thoroughly so you know exactly what to write and how to write it. Remember your punctuation and paragraphing.

Ok
Introduction:
Make a nice starting sentence to introduce your topic to your reader. A hook or a question (depends on topic)
Get into a thesis which is a sentence that consists of three things that you'll talk about in your essay. Each thing will be a paragraph.
Give a "preview" of these three things and then conclude your introduction paragraph with a conclusion sentence that summarizes your opinion.

Body 1, 2, 3:
Give an introduction sentence of the one thing from the three things. This intro sentence should state a fact or an opinion(depends on topic and teachers choice)
In the body sentences, give examples of this one thing. Give really good examples to attract the reader.
Conclude the paragraph with a conclusion sentence that summarizes what you said in there and gets back to your opinion. It could also be a transition to your other paragraph.

Conclusion Paragraph:
It's the same thing as the introduction paragraph, but restate your thesis in another way. Restate your opinion and look back at the examples you said in the body briefly.

^^ Good luck
