How can I effectively plan my essay?

From my personal experience, the best way to plan an essay is as follows:1) Write down all the points you can think in relation of the question, separating them into two categories: arguments supporting the argument provided in the question and arguments refuting it2) Add examples related to those points3) Choose the most relevant points which you will develop in full paragraphs4) Connect supporting points to refuting points based on relevance5) Order your points in a coherent way to prove your point6) Write your essay
