Here are some tips for writing high-school essays:
- Choose a topic that is neither too broad nor too narrow, but provides the right amount of text necessary for your essay
- Write for your audience (your teacher) and not for yourself
- Start each paragraph with the topic sentence
- When you are describing certain events, it is best to write them in the present tense
- For the rest of the essay, use a third-person perspective to put across your points
- Include quotations and arguments as much as possible
- Omit more information in the conclusion, but stick to the summary of the essay
