Essay structure year 9

What is the structure of an essay? The structure of an essay is divided into an introduction that presents your topic and thesis statement, a body containing your in-depth analysis and arguments, and a conclusion wrapping up your ideas.

By Year 9, you already know how to compose English responses. However, you may find that you have been focusing more on the structure and ideas of essays or imaginative responses, rather than the gritty details like effective communication. This is because you were new to writing essays or creatives, so you had to first learn the basics.

In Year 9, you are expected to produce a well-structured essay. This means an essay that is structured correctly and is also smooth and progressive. This is why transitioning is so important in essays. Your sentences, ideas and argument will flow from each other… which makes your English responses a lot easier to read and understand!

In Year 9 English, you might come across a variety of persuasive essays. Sometimes, you may be asked to write a persuasive essay in response to moral or political question. For example, “ Should same-sex marriage be allowed? ” or “ Should primary school students wear a uniform ?”
