when... Use "for example" or "for instance" or "such as" Example: This happens many times throughout the novel; for instance, when... *Note punctuation. 4. DONT JUST STATE A FACT IN YOUR THESIS STATEM ENT; DIRECT YOUR ESSAY. Example: Orange juice in a box is good. This thesis statement doesnt direct your essay and is difficult to support in an essay. However, the thesis Orange juice in a box is better than orange juice in a bottle does direct the essay and is supportable. 5. DONT START YOUR ESSAY W ITH ONLY A THESIS STATEM ENT. YOU M UST HAVE AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH AND LEAD YOUR READER TO THE THESIS. 6. M AKE SURE EACH PARAGRAPH HAS A M INIM UM OF 3 SENTENCES IN IT. Each sentence should relate only to whatever reason or evidence you are presenting in that paragraph. (Don't confuse sentences with lines!) 7. M AKE SURE YOUR ESSAY HAS A MINIMUM OF FIVE PARAGRAPHS TOTAL. 8. DONT USE ABBREVIATIONS LIKE YOU W OULD W HILE USING FB. Example: Using the letter U instead of the word you or the number 2 instead of the word to, etc. Also be sure to capitalize the letter I when referring to yourself! I did many of the listed mistakes, and still to come out of some of them. Hope you do take care of your Essay writings taking these into consideration.
