It will be up on Moodle. Quite simply download it, type over the given text with your own and automatically, it will be in the required format!\nThis brief essay is intended to illustrate the basic skills of essay writing and the methodological conventions required by the Faculty of Theology, St. Patrick's College Maynooth. The text itself will serve as a simple model of writing. It should be consulted when doubts arise about researching and planning the essay, its layout, paragraphing, source citation, footnotes and bibliography. It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with, and follow, the guidelines of the Faculty. If you wish to follow another set of guidelines, you should do so consistently and be able to offer good reasons for your choice.\nA good essay begins its life in the library. Once the topic for the essay has been chosen, the writer needs to identify the books and articles to be used as source material for the essay. It is useful at this early stage to compile a bibliography and systematically read through it. It is important to realize that it is not necessary to read every book in its entirety. However, the introductory and concluding chapters need careful reading. Any chapter pertinent to the essay topic should be studied in detail. The book’s index provides easy reference to relevant information. During this phase of study, it is vital to make careful and accurate notes of what one is reading, paying particular attention to quotations which may be used eventually in the essay. The same applies to articles in periodicals. When research and study is complete, a plan for the essay should be drawn up.\nThe following are basic directives for text layout. All paragraphs should be indented. The text is to be double-spaced, except for block quotations, notes and long headings which are single spaced. Each page is to be numbered. Numbers, however, should not be shown on the title page, but nonetheless counted in the pagination. Arabic numerals, centred at the bottom of the page, are to be preferred. Roman numerals (I, II, III, i, ii, iii) are to be avoided in both pagination and footnote indication.\nNote also the conventions of spacing and punctuation. Leave one space after a full stop or other punctuation mark at the end of a sentence; also, leave one space after any punctuation mark within the sentence. A space is never inserted before a punctuation mark.\nStructure of the Essay\nLike a good story, an essay needs a beginning, a middle and an end. In academia, these are referred to as the introduction, body and conclusion respectively. The introduction and conclusion to the essay should be the last sections to be written. Key considerations for the body of the essay are the unity and logic of its presentation. Unity is attained by the focus given to the specific topic selected. It may often be necessary to mention some of the issues that you are not addressing, in order better to focus on your particular subject. One common approach is to move from the broader statements of the earlier paragraphs to specific examples or selected texts for more detailed analysis. There are, however, no fixed rules about how the body of the essay should be structured. The basic principle is that there should be a logical arrangement of material held in focus by a controlling issue.\nA good introductory paragraph identifies the topic, sets a direction and, awakens some interest. By the end of the introduction, the reader should know what subject has been chosen, from what perspective it will be approached, and what the overall plan of the essay will be. The introduction may be the last part you write in the final draft.\nThe second paragraph is often broad in scope, scanning the general context of the selected issue(s). It might, for instance, present a brief historical survey of thinking on a given question, or","cbCaimFZ74dHRfrb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimFZ74dHRfrb","doc",224768,10,"English","# Introduction\n## Research and Planning\n## Text Layout and Pagination\n# Structure of the Essay\n## Introduction Paragraph\n## Body of the Paper\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What are the main steps recommended before drafting the essay?\",\"answer\":\"Choose the topic, identify relevant books and articles, compile a bibliography, read key sections carefully, and take accurate notes on possible quotations.
