How should I structure an essay for English Literature?

Begin with an introduction establishing the question you are answering (including defining any of the terms that you will be focusing on) and what your main argument will be when addressing it. Think of this almost like a blurb of the essay to come. Keep your sentences short and succinct.Depending on time, you should be writing 4-5 paragraphs, each addressing different points. For structuring each paragraph, there is no correct formula, just ensure that your argument flows throughout. However, keep in mind that you are meeting all of your assessment criteria:AO1: Read, understand and respond to texts. Students should be able to:maintain a critical style and develop an informed personal responseuse textual references, including quotations, to support and illustrate interpretations.AO2: Analyse the language, form and structure used by a writer to create meanings and effects, using relevant subject terminology where appropriate.AO3: Show understanding of the relationships between texts and the contexts in which they were written.AO4: Use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation.For AO1: This is the most important objective that must be there in every point. Make sure you include your argument and a quote from the text to back it up.For AO2: This is also an important objective. Ideally the language feature you have chosen will reinforce the point you already made in AO1.For AO3: Link to context and how this influences your argument.For AO4: This a general point to keep in the back of your mind.Conclusion: Make sure to write a short conclusion for each essay to round up on all your points and clarify your final argument based on what you have discussed.
