Let’s use the example of the beach because everyone knows what a beach is (at least here in Australia)
1) Divide the beach into its components: sand, sea and headlands
2) Now put up to 3 subheadings under each heading e.g. sand has wet sand and dry sand
3) Write one paragraph about each of the sub headings saying how you would use them, what you would do there
4) As a conclusion - list the components from point 1 along with the main usage you have identified.
That’s it – very simple, very easy to follow!
Senior analytical essays
To make your essay a more senior, analytical essay answer the following questions under each of your subheadings:
How?
When?
Where?
Why?
Who?
Which?
What?
Now you will see that you have analysed each of the components and if you write a paragraph with each of these headings you will have a senior analytical essay.
