2) Key points for each paragraph
3) Roughly how long each part will be how many words (+/- 5%)
4) More detailed question part more words!
5) Order our key points in bullet points
6) Write a topic sentence for each paragraph so that our plan starts to look like a shell
7) Write some questions for yourself that you must answer as you're writing
8) Make a plan for your references have them planned before you write so that you
know you can back your writing up with evidence
