How should I structure my essay?

The most important thing to remember when writing an A- Level essay is the word "fluidity". Though the simple answer to the question is: start with an introduction, then make at least three points which utilise quotations from the text and critical material and finally conclude; in reality, we want to use our essay as a way to express our perspective and create a response which is clear and enjoyable to read. The best way to achieve this is by blending in quotations effectively and transitioning through paragraphs fluently which will help your argument to flow. Once you are able to demonstrate this technique, it will become much easier to express your perspective in a more creative way.
