trials are ever-closer than before, and i still have no idea how to start on my discovery essay. i have a few things i wanted to clarify.
Hey! I'd be happy to help
1. do you have to find examples for EACH types of discovery in your texts? if yes, then how many examples per type of discovery?
Not necessarily, though preparing for each type is a good idea to make sure you can respond to
any question. There's no magic number, just however many you think you'll need to respond to a question properly.
2. how broad is a "broad" topic statement that you can go into the exam and tailor to the question? can you please give an example?
You can sort of plan where the specifics of the question can go. Something like:
________ discoveries have a significant impact on the individual - This can be honed to a question by specifying a type of Discovery, and or what the specific impact on the individual will be. Lots of options!
3. is it possible to memorise a discovery essay and then adapt it to the question during the exam?
Yep -
Here is a guide on it!4. how exactly do you figure out what you have to talk about in your body paragraphs?
So in the introduction you will present your big idea responding to the question - This is your
Thesis. You then divide this into smaller arguments, those are your body paragraphs. Here is a super simple example:
Thesis: Burgers are awesome!
Paragraph #1: Beef burgers are awesome!
Paragraph #2: Chicken burgers are awesome!
Paragraph #3: Veggie burgers are awesome!
I've taken my "Burgers are awesome" argument, and split it into more manageable topics - This is what you should do for your essay
