What NOT to do when you write an essay

Some tips on what to avoid while writing essays...

Never start an essay with:

"I'm going to tell you about..."
"In this essay I will be writing about..."
"This essay will be about..."

Never finish a paragraph with...
"... and that was about..."
"and this is why I told you about this"

Never conclude an essay with...
"In conclusion..."
"Now I will finish my essay with..."

Anyway you get the point... We will be working on this in class next week.

in elementary school i always finished an essay with "in conclusion" because there wasnt really anything i could think of to finish it off.
