Essays
In general, essays require either a descriptive or an analytical/argumentative approach in their investigation and writing. Academic study usually requires you to use the analytical/argumentative approach.
Formal academic essays have a title, but do not have section headings for the organisation of content. Instead, essays use paragraphs and language to create a basic three part structure comprising of:
| 1. | An introduction |
| 2. | A body |
| 3. | A conclusion |
Each part has its own specific function in a properly constructed essay, and no one part is more or less important than the other two.
