This is a nine page booklet designed at giving instruction to sixth form students about to start university (16-18) or indeed, year 11 students (15-16) about how to write a university standard essay. This booklet goes into the differences in structure between university and college essays, introductions, main body of the essay and conclusions, planning, researching and much more. A very useful resource for the EPQ or for any student who is not sure of essay structure. The example question used throughout the course of the booklet to highlight different methods of structure is a high level question about Henry VIII. The booklet is still applicable to all, but would be particularly useful to those studying history.
