... with the thought of having to write an essay, report
or other writing assignment ?
You can write enthusiastically, efficiently,
and effectively when you learn the secrets to writing
excellent essays, reports and research papers.
If you are in high school, college, university,
a home schooling parent, or an up-and-coming author, you can easily learn and
apply the systems, structures and style you will receive in "How
to Write Excellent Essays in 7 Easy Steps"
The Seven Steps are revealed
in the acronym
A+.D.V.A.N.C.E.
A.Analyze
the Assignment
One key to a successful essay is to understand and answer the assignment as
it was given to you. Picking out the key words and converting those into topics
will keep you on track and help you avoid the plague of a brilliant and eloquent
essay on the wrong topic. Essay length and focus are examined along with sample
essay questions
A+.Analyze the Audience
Likely you would not write an essay unless you had to, for a teacher or professor.
You need to understand who is going to read your
essay, what they are like, what they are thinking, when they
are reading your essay, where they are reading your essay, after reading how
many other essays just like yours.
Your challenge is to wake them up and take notice
of YOUR essay in the stack. This chapter will give you techniques
for making that marker's job easier, resulting in a much better grade on your
paper.
D.Determine the Structure
After Analyzing the Assignment and understanding your audience, you will need
to determine the appropriate Structure and Style that will effectively hit the
target you are aiming for. Understanding structure will take you a long way
towards convincingly communicating your thesis.
Sometimes it not as important "what you say" but "how
you say it."
V. Validate
Your Viewpoint
Supporting evidence and facts are far more important to the reader of an essay
than your rambling unsubstantiated opinions. Your viewpoint may be interesting,
but without the validation of information you have gathered from multiple sources,
your essay will be weak and boring.
This chapter will stress the information gathering process from a variety of
sources in an extremely efficient manner that can literally save you hundreds
of hours of research time over your academic career.
A.Assemble
the Structure and Add Style
Once you have gathered your information, assembling it into a convincing structure
organizes your thoughts and enables you to communicate clearly and effectively.
Adding style will engage the reader to continue reading the end of your paper
without the fear of putting them to sleep. Stylistic techniques that you can
implement immediately will dramatically improve your writing.
N.Notation
& Citation
Avoid the plague of "plagiarism."
If in doubt, always cite your sources. It will make you sound intelligent and
sophisticated, as well as giving credibility to your arguments.
In an age where scanning software has enabled universities to detect any hint
of the "copy-paste" disease,
the consequences of improper referencing can be dire.
This chapter will demonstrate tools for referencing, footnoting and bibliography
building that will make your academic career so much easier.
C. Conclusions
and Introductions
In this session you will learn where the "money"
is in the essay - the one place markers look first to establish
the grade in their minds, where they go to confirm that opinion and which parts
of the essay carry that impression throughout the paper.
Most students spend 80% of their time on the
20% that influences their marks, and often neglect or do not
understand the importance of the 20% found in the Conclusion and the Introduction
which gives the marker the first "feeling" of what the grade should
be..
E.Edit
& Enunciate
"That didn't sound right!"
If that's what you have said after reading your paper out loud, be thankful.
Your ear is a wonderful editing tool.
Editing is a necessary part of the writing process and one that can be easily
achieved if you follow the four steps presented in this chapter.
Never suffer again from "delayed intelligence."

in 7 Easy Steps"
The videos you have just seen are the chapter introductions
for the first seven video chapters in this "Flagship
Course" presented by "Webster's
Academy for Excellence in Writing" in partnership with

such as:
Stuctures of Basic, Extended, Literary and Expository
Essays

The Persuasive and Argumentative Essay Models
These two types of essays are often required by instructors, however they are
often confused and confusing. Two different Persuasive and two different Argumentative
Essay Models will demonstrate their unique characteristics.
The strategy for persuasion is very different than that of argument and the
lessons learned here can applied to real life situations where you need to persuade
someone to your point of view.
The Super Essay
What happens when you are assigned that 15 - 20 - 30 page term paper?
You will discover a building block approach to creating Super Essays which
are in essence a compilation of smaller Basic and Extended Essays glued together
with Super Introductions and Super Conclusions, with Super Transitional paragraphs
holding them together.

This session is a practical demonstration of the Basic Essay Model in all its
components. Over this and the next video you will see the expansion of the essay
with the inclusion of quotes, footnotes, citations and a bibliography which

In addition, you will learn to extend your essay by adding more topics and
