Introduction
The first step to writing a good history essay should be to do the research. Find reputable sources of information, and make sure you understand what each source is saying.
Secondly, when you are ready to start writing, first come up with a thesis statement. Then, create an introduction that will catch your reader's attention.
Body
It is important to think about the argument you want to make before you begin writing. The more time you spend planning your argument, the easier it will be to write your essay. A good way to start thinking about your argument is by asking what point of view is it? Is it a fact, opinion, or debate? What are the two sides of the argument?
The contention of your essay should be something that is debatable. It should be an idea or subject that you can back up with sources and evidence. You can have one contention per essay, but it's best to choose something broad, so you have room to explore it in-depth.
A good contention is the backbone of a history essay. If your contention is not clear, it will obscure your argument. Make sure to offer a side-by-side comparison of the two competing views as well as give reasons as to why you support your opinion. You can also use sources to back up your opinion.
The body of your essay should have three or more paragraphs.
Conclusion
The conclusion of a history essay is important. This is the final paragraph of your essay. A good conclusion should reiterate or restate the idea of your essay and should close off your essay, ideally with a polished ending.
The conclusion of your essay is also the time to summarise what you’ve discussed in your essay, or to make a final point. It should be concise and it should not be abrupt. It can also provide a sense of closure for your reader, which will allow them to reflect on what you have said. This is your chance to offer some final thoughts.
A conclusion will help you write a tighter essay and showcase your ability to conclude an argument. It should not be simply a summary of your essay but rather it should summarise the main points of your essay.
