Writing your essay: help!!!

Hi there! I have found some amazing resource videos for you! These videos will help you when you are stuck or confused about how to write your GH essay. Choose any video that you think will help you, watch it (as many times as needed), and take notes. I can't tell you right now what notes you will take or what the notes should be about, BECAUSE only you know what you're confused about or need help doing. You can always ask for my support, just make sure you have a specific question before you ask me.

FHCs: CHOOSE FROM THE CONFUSIONS LISTED :)

  • HOW TO WRITE MY CLAIM and HOW TO ADD IT TO MY PAPER
  • HOW TO WRITE AN OUTLINE FOR MY PAPER
  • WHAT KIND OF ESSAY SHOULD I WRITE?
  • I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST REPEATING MYSELF IN MY ESSAY, HELP!
  • I THINK I'M REASONING, BUT I'M NOT SURE?
  • I FEEL LIKE MY PARAGRAPH TRANSITIONS AREN'T WORKING.
  • I'VE COME ACROSS SOME OTHER PERSPECTIVES ON MY TOPIC, HOW DO I WRITE ABOUT THEM IN MY ESSAY?
  • HOW DO I WRITE MY SOURCE CITATIONS?
  • IS MY INTRODUCTION OK?
  • IS MY CONCLUSION OK?
  • I FEEL LIKE MY CONCLUDING SENTENCE(S) AREN'T WORKING.
  • I NEED ALL THE HELP! HELP ME ORGANIZE MY ESSAY :( 
    (The "I NEED ALL THE HELP" link will require you to make an account.)
  • I NEED AN MLA ESSAY TEMPLATE THAT I CAN USE TO WRITE ON?
  • HOW DO I CITE AN ELECTRONIC RESOURCE
