So, if I spend about 5-6 minutes planning what else would I write except for a couple of bullet points about my two main examples? Would it just be this:

ex1: _____
-something
-something
ex2: _____
-something
-something
Is that it?
Also, I think I need help as Mr. Pursley indicated earlier, in sentence structure. I have never been an amazing English or writing student- so any sort of website or even basic tips on how to condense my writing would really help. Thank you both so much.

You need to end up with a minimum of 4 paragraphs, 5 would be better:

1. Intro -- about 4 sentences; 4th sentence is your thesis statement

2. Full paragraph (7-8 sentences) developing one of your main points

3. Full paragraph (7-8 sentences) developing one of your main points

4. Concl -- about 4 sentences, echoing your conclusion and making your final point.

Go into the Essay and Research Paper section and read the section called STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS. Read all the other parts, too, if you can.
