Essay writing
What is an Essay?
 The term "essay" is used in somewhat different ways in
different contexts. The clearest definition I have
encountered is by Frederick Crews, professor of
English at the University of California at
Berkeley. Crews defines an essay as "a fairly brief
piece of nonfiction that tries to make a point in an
interesting way."
What does an essay do?
 An essay is fairly brief.
 An essay is nonfiction.
 An essay tries to make a point.
 An essay tries to make a point in an interesting way.
 An essay leads to one conclusion.
Kinds of Essays
 Definition Essay
 Classification Essay
 Description Essay
 Compare and Contrast Essay
 Sequence Essay
 Choice Essay
 Explanation Essay
 Evaluation Essay
Definition Essay
 When you are writing a definition essay, you take a
term or an idea and write about what it is.
 Often, definitions are combined with classification or
other forms of organization in the essay.
 You need to give a careful definition of the key term
before going on to discuss different types or examples.
Example
question:
Write an essay defining energy
resources and discuss thedifferent
types.
Introduction:
Define the key term energy
resources.
Supporting
paragraphs:
1.Define one type of energy
resources: renewable resources.
2. Define another type of energy
resources: non-renewableresources.
Summary
paragraph:
Summarize energyresources.
Classification Essay
 In a classification essay, you separate things or ideas
into specific categories and discuss each of them. You
organize the essay by defining each classification and
by giving examples of each type.
Example

of government in Pakistan.
Introduction:

government in Pakisatan.

Description Essay
 In a description essay, you write about what a
person, place, or thing is like. You organize the essay
by describing different parts or aspects of the main
subject.

Compare and Contrast Essay
 In a compare and contrast essay, you write about the
similarities and differences between two or more
people, places, or things. You can organize the essay by
writing about one subject first and then comparing it
with the second subject. A more effective way is to
organize the essay by comparing each subject by
category.
Example
question:
Write an essay comparing the weather
of Northern Areas and Plain Areas of
Pakistan
Introduction:
Introduce weather in the Northern
and Plain areas of Pakistan.
Supporting
paragraphs:
1. Compare weather in spring and summer for

Sequence Essay
 In a sequence essay, you are writing to describe a series
of events or a process in some sort of order. Usually,
this order is based on time. You organize the essay by
writing about each step of the process in the order it
occurred.
Example
question:
Write an essay outlining the stages of the salmon life
cycle.
Introduction: Describe what a salmon is like.
Supporting
paragraphs:
1. Describe young salmon.
2. Describe adult salmon.
3. Describe what salmon do before they
die.

Choice Essay
 In a choice essay, you need to choose which
object, idea, or action that you prefer. You organize the
essay by describing each option and then giving your
opinion.

2. Describe hockey today.
3. State which form of hockey you prefer and

 In an explanation essay, you explain how or why
something happens or has happened. You need to
explain different causes and effects. You should
organize the essay by explaining each individual cause
or effect.
Example
question:
Write an essay explaining why so many Muslims moved

partition during this time.
