Structure
Flow diagram mapping the structure of a discursive essay
A basic structure employed when planning a discursive essay could include:
- An interesting introduction.
- A clear indication of your position in relation to the topic.
- Your first argument, with supporting evidence.
- Your second argument, with supporting evidence, and so on (the number of paragraphs like this will depend on the number of arguments you can offer).
- A conclusion, in which you reiterate your position.
