text: how do you write a good structured essay? i have to do my coursework and i need to get started and i don't know how. i won't type the essay title here. i want to do it myself with my own ideas. it's just how should i structure it? when writing an essay, think of it in 3 stages - beginning, middle and end. the beginning is an introduction to the reader of the subject you're writing about, the middle is an elaboration of the introduction with facts, case studies, etc, and the end is a summary/conclusion of your subject matter to round off the essay. hope this helps.
