This document provides a basic guide to writing an essay. It explains that all essays have the same basic format and structure regardless of their purpose. The guide then outlines the typical essay writing process, which includes choosing a topic, creating an outline, writing a thesis statement, composing body paragraphs, and drafting an introduction and conclusion. Each step is described in one to three sentences. Key elements like outlining main ideas and supporting points, elaborating on ideas in body paragraphs, and using attention-grabbing techniques in introductions are highlighted at a high level.
An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary to complete a task. Either way, your essay will have the same basic format. If you follow a few simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay anyway.

Most of the academic institutes ask their students to choose the essay topic on their own. While it may sound liberating, it does put some additional pressure on the students.
To pick the suitable topic for your essay, you need to understand the nature of the essay you are asked to draft. Whether it’s a narrative essay, an analysis essay, a compare and contrast essay, or an expository essay – your essay topic needs to be picked according to the essay type.
Since you are given a free hand in picking the essay topic, you can pick a topic from the area where you are excel. Also, keep in mind that the topic should be relevant to your curriculum and gives you enough opportunity to explore.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is an Essay?
An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is
the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue
for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary
to complete a task. Either way, your essay will have the same
basic format. If you follow a few simple steps, you will find
that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only
for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay
anyway.
Don't let the thought of putting pen to paper daunt
you. Get started!
3. Essay Format
These simple steps will guide you through the essay writing
process:
Decide on your topic.
Prepare an outline or diagram of your ideas.
Write your thesis statement.
Write the body.
Write the main points.
Write the subpoints.
Elaborate on the subpoints.
Write the introduction.
Write the conclusion.
Add the finishing touches.
4. Choosing a Topic
You may have no choice as to your topic. If this is the case, you still may not be
ready to jump to the next step. Think about the type of paper you are expected to
produce. Should it be a general overview, or a specific analysis of the topic? If it
should be an overview, then you are probably ready to move to the next step. If it
should be a specific analysis, make sure your topic is fairly specific. If it is too
general, you must choose a narrower subtopic to discuss.
For example, the topic "KENYA" is a general one. If your objective is to write an
overview, this topic is suitable. If your objective is to write a specific analysis, this
topic is too general. You must narrow it to something like "Politics in Kenya" or
"Kenya's Culture.“
Once you have determined that your topic will be suitable, you can move on.
5. Organize Your Ideas
The purpose of an outline or diagram is to put your ideas about the
topic on paper, in a moderately organized format. The structure you
create here may still change before the essay is complete, so don't
agonize over this. Decide whether you prefer the cut-and-dried
structure of an outline or a more flowing structure. If you start one
or the other and decide it isn't working for you, you can always
switch later.
7. Writing Your Outline
Begin your outline by writing your topic at the top of the page.
Next, write the Roman numerals I, II, and III, spread apart down the left
side of the page.
Next to each Roman numeral, write the main ideas that you have about your
topic, or the main points that you want to make.
If you are trying to persuade, you want to write your best arguments.
If you are trying to explain a process, you want to write the steps
that should be followed. You will probably need to group these into
categories. If you have trouble grouping the steps into categories, try
using Beginning, Middle, and End.
If you are trying to inform, you want to write the major categories
into which your information can be divided.
Under each Roman numeral, write A, B, and C down the left side of the
page.
Next to each letter, write the facts or information that support that main
idea.
When you have finished, you have the basic structure for your essay and are
ready to continue.
8. Composing a Thesis Statement
Now that you have decided, at least tentatively, what
information you plan to present in your essay, you are
ready to write your thesis statement.
The thesis statement tells the reader what the essay
will be about, and what point you, the author, will be
making.
You know what the essay will be about. That was
your topic. Now you must look at your outline or
diagram and decide what point you will be making.
What do the main ideas and supporting ideas that you
listed say about your topic?
9. Thesis Statements
Your thesis statement will have two parts.
The first part states the topic.
Kenya's Culture
Building a Model Train Set
Public Transportation
The second part states the point of the essay.
has a rich and varied history
takes time and patience
can solve some of our city's most persistent and pressing problems
Once you have formulated a thesis statement that fits
this pattern and with which you are comfortable, you
are ready to continue.
10. Writing the Body Paragraphs
In the body of the essay, all the preparation up to this point
comes to fruition. The topic you have chosen must now be
explained, described, or argued. Each main idea that you wrote
down in your diagram or outline will become one of the body
paragraphs. If you had three or four main ideas, you will have
three or four body paragraphs. Each body paragraph will have
the same basic structure.
Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence
form. Next, write down each of your supporting points for
that main idea, but leave four or five lines in between each
point.
In the space under each point, write down some elaboration
for that point. Elaboration can be further description or
explanation or discussion.
Once you have fleshed out each of your body paragraphs,
one for each main point, you are ready to continue.
11. Example
If your main idea is "reduces freeway congestion," you
might say this:
Public transportation reduces freeway congestion.
Supporting Point:
Commuters appreciate the cost savings of taking public
transportation rather than driving.
Elaboration
Less driving time means less maintenance expense, such as oil
changes.
Of course, less driving time means savings on gasoline as well.
In many cases, these savings amount to more than the cost of riding
public transportation.
12. Write the Introduction and
Conclusion
Your essay lacks only two paragraphs now:
the introduction and the conclusion. These
paragraphs will give the reader a point of
entry to and a point of exit from your essay.
13. Introduction
The introduction should be designed to attract the reader's attention and give her an idea
of the essay's focus. Begin with an attention grabber. The attention grabber you use is up
to you, but here are some ideas:
Startling information. This information must be true and verifiable, and it doesn't
need to be totally new to your readers. It could simply be a pertinent fact that
explicitly illustrates the point you wish to make. If you use a piece of startling
information, follow it with a sentence or two of elaboration.
Anecdote. An anecdote is a story that illustrates a point. Be sure your anecdote is
short, to the point, and relevant to your topic. This can be a very effective opener for
your essay, but use it carefully.
Dialogue. An appropriate dialogue does not have to identify the speakers, but the
reader must understand the point you are trying to convey. Use only two or three
exchanges between speakers to make your point. Follow dialogue with a sentence or
two of elaboration.
Summary Information. A few sentences explaining your topic in general terms can
lead the reader gently to your thesis. Each sentence should become gradually more
specific, until you reach your thesis.
If the attention grabber was only a sentence or two, add one or two more sentences that
will lead the reader from your opening to your thesis statement.
Finish the paragraph with your thesis statement.
14. Conclusion
The conclusion brings closure to the reader, summing
up your points or providing a final perspective on
your topic. All the conclusion needs is three or four
strong sentences which do not need to follow any set
formula. Simply review the main points (being
careful not to restate them exactly) or briefly describe
your feelings about the topic. Even an anecdote can
end your essay in a useful way. The introduction and
conclusion complete the paragraphs of your essay.
Don't stop just yet! One more step remains before
your essay is truly finished.
15. Add the Finishing Touches
You have now completed all of the paragraphs
of your essay. Before you can consider this a
finished product, however, you must give
some thought to the formatting of your paper.
Check the order of your paragraphs.
Check the instructions for the assignment.
Check your writing.
16. Once you have checked your work and
perfected your formatting,
your essay is finished.
Congratulations!
