exam tips - writing introductions to essays

Do
Start with the question – re word it, say what you are going to say (without actually saying it)
Read into, conclusion and first and last sentence of each paragraph

Begin to unpack terms – explain it and say how it relates to the question, show understanding, define
Need to focus on question
Show understanding of question
include relevent quotes

Don’ts
general information
don’t get into details too quickly
waffle
