plan essay info 3336 Essay Plan Information Due: Week 5: Wednesday August 25th by 5pm Weighting: 10% Word count: 500 words (see 'Important Assessment information' document for late and overlength penalties) This first assessment is to help with essay preparation. The essay plan is an exercise in structuring your essay and developing argument. The objective here is for you to (i) structure your introductory paragraph, essay body [in this case: two paragraphs], and concluding paragraph; (ii) and to also plan for developing your own position on the essay topic. Please note that the actual essay body in the 1500 word essay will require more than 2 paragraphs. PLEASE ALSO SEE THE ESSAY WRITING GUIDE ON ILEARN. There are essentially three main parts of an essay: introduction, essay body, and conclusion. For this task, you will need to structure each of these sections in point form. The specific points will take the following format: Introduction · Opening line [general statement outlining significance of the topic] · Introduce the controversy · Outline ‘sides’ of the debate · State the aim of the essay · State how the aim will be achieved. Body of the essay [two paragraphs; note that for the actual essay, you will need to write more than two paragraphs] · Direct statement of the point of the paragraph (topic sentence) · Clarify the topic, define, and indicate relevance · Outline a position (evidence/argument) · Develop an argument for/against the point of the topic sentence · Finish the paragraph with your evaluation. Conclusion · First line concluding statement (a statement directly addressing your stance on the essay topic) · Next sentences summarising the major reasons/points for reaching that conclusion · Acknowledging limitations · Final sentences should indicate significance and meaningful future directions NOTE: The essay plan assignment must be presented in point form. Any plans submitted in ordinary prose/paragraphs will be returned. Note: ● The material from this first assessment can be incorporated into your essay. ● The plan should include in-text references and a final reference list (not included in the word count). ● This project is designed to give you feedback on your essay writing and direction of thinking, etc. You can, of course, choose an essay topic for the final essay that differs from the one covered in the essay plan. This Assessment Task relates to the following Learning Outcomes: 1. Gain a basic insight into central issues in contemporary personality research within a global context. 2. Learn of the variety of approaches to the study of personality, and their relevance to understanding psychopathology, everyday life, and research. 3. Learn how to read critically, to take your own stance on an array of issues in writing and in discussion with your peers. 4. Write an essay that synthesises a body of material and argues for an original position. 5. Acquire enough background knowledge to direct further studies in the area. 6. Learn how to communicate effectively during group discussions in seminars. ESSAY PLAN EXAMPLE.pdf Example essay plan Below is an example of an essay plan for the first assessment. This example should provide an indication of how to present the plan, although you will have to fill in the gaps left. Note that there is a reference list at the end. The reference list is not included in the word count. Note also that unlike the actual essay, the essay plan can use headings: the introductory paragraph, body of argument, and concluding paragraph. Remember, though, undergraduate essays are typically NOT broken up with headings. Example topic: Violent behaviour: nature or nurture?
