Top 10 Great Suggestions For Writing A One-Page Essay
Hooray! You know how long papers usually are, right? So you could well be beaming now that you’ve been set a one-page paper to write. Well, I’m sorry to break the bad news to you, but your professor hasn’t decided to just be kind. Creating a one-page paper can be a very tricky task indeed!
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. Here are my ten suggestions to help you on your way:
- Organization is the key to any successful endeavor. Timetable your workload and stick to it, and everything else will be so much easier!
- This assignment should be composed in the same way as any other paper, and should therefore contain the same elements. The structure is: introduction, main body text, conclusion; so you may suddenly realize that that’s actually a lot to get across in just a few hundred words! The introduction should be only a sentence or two (more like a thesis statement), whereas the conclusion will be a paragraph or two. It is worth bearing this in mind before you even pick your subject, let alone start writing!
- You should pick your topic for this assignment wisely. You need to select something that can pack a punch as much as any other good paper, but at the same time, you need to be able to explain and demonstrate in an extremely concise manner.
- In any assignment, it’s always best to narrow the subject down to a specific issue, so the more you can narrow your chosen subject here in the same way and even more so- whilst still making it interesting- the greater your work will be.
- Once you have chosen your theme, you should research it as much as possible, from as many different sources as you can.
- Write a first draft first! What are the main points you want to cover? What are your aims and objectives? Plan it before writing!
- Re-edit your work again and again until it is highly polished.
- Writing style is perhaps more noticeable in short papers, so the better your flow is and the more you hone your manner of writing, the more you’ll be on to a winner.
- It’s easy to overlook simple mistakes that can cause being marked down, so make sure the spelling and grammar is correct.
- Have fun with it- and know that you will be gaining valuable tools in learning how to be succinct in this fashion; which you can apply to future assignments.
