How do I write a first draft?
When you are writing an essay, you will have many drafts. The first draft is always the most difficult. In order to write your first draft, you have to have a plan. When you have a plan, this shows you all of the subtopics within your essay. It shows you how those subtopics go together and flow. Those subtopics need to tell your story and display your arguments. They've got to be coherent. You start writing at any point in your plan. When you've written all of those subsections within your plan, you then have your first draft. At that point, you need to go back and edit and proofread and check your essay. You can't hand it in at this stage, this is only the first draft.
