Question

i have to write on a topic for about 300-400 words . topic is 'IS HOMEWORK HARMFUL OR HELPFUL'

Answer 1

First you must decide which you believe: is it helpful or is it harmful?

Once you have decided that, you need to follow the writing process:

<u>Prewriting</u>: brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement

<u>Writing</u>: write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; <b>write introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last</b>.

<u>Polishing</u>: revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)

Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?

Once you have a thesis statement and a plan or outline, please re-post.
