• 40 Useful Words and Phrases for Top-Notch Essays

To be truly brilliant, an essay needs to utilise the right language. You could make a great point, but if it’s not intelligently articulated, you almost needn’t have bothered.

Developing the language skills to build an argument and to write persuasively is crucial if you’re to write outstanding essays every time. In this article, we’re going to equip you with the words and phrases you need to write a top-notch essay, along with examples of how to utilise them.

It’s by no means an exhaustive list, and there will often be other ways of using the words and phrases we describe that we won’t have room to include, but there should be more than enough below to help you make an instant improvement to your essay-writing skills.

If you’re interested in developing your language and persuasive skills, Oxford Royale offers summer courses at its Oxford Summer School , Cambridge Summer School , London Summer School , San Francisco Summer School and Yale Summer School . You can study courses to learn english , prepare for careers in law , medicine , business , engineering and leadership.

General explaining

Let’s start by looking at language for general explanations of complex points.

1. In order to

Usage: “In order to” can be used to introduce an explanation for the purpose of an argument. Example: “In order to understand X, we need first to understand Y.”

2. In other words

Usage: Use “in other words” when you want to express something in a different way (more simply), to make it easier to understand, or to emphasise or expand on a point. Example: “Frogs are amphibians. In other words, they live on the land and in the water.”

3. To put it another way

Usage: This phrase is another way of saying “in other words”, and can be used in particularly complex points, when you feel that an alternative way of wording a problem may help the reader achieve a better understanding of its significance. Example: “Plants rely on photosynthesis. To put it another way, they will die without the sun.”

4. That is to say

Usage: “That is” and “that is to say” can be used to add further detail to your explanation, or to be more precise. Example: “Whales are mammals. That is to say, they must breathe air.”

5. To that end

Usage: Use “to that end” or “to this end” in a similar way to “in order to” or “so”. Example: “Zoologists have long sought to understand how animals communicate with each other. To that end, a new study has been launched that looks at elephant sounds and their possible meanings.”

Adding additional information to support a point

Students often make the mistake of using synonyms of “and” each time they want to add further information in support of a point they’re making, or to build an argument . Here are some cleverer ways of doing this.

6. Moreover

Usage: Employ “moreover” at the start of a sentence to add extra information in support of a point you’re making. Example: “Moreover, the results of a recent piece of research provide compelling evidence in support of…”

7. Furthermore

Usage:This is also generally used at the start of a sentence, to add extra information. Example: “Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that…”

8. What’s more

Usage: This is used in the same way as “moreover” and “furthermore”. Example: “What’s more, this isn’t the only evidence that supports this hypothesis.”

9. Likewise

Usage: Use “likewise” when you want to talk about something that agrees with what you’ve just mentioned. Example: “Scholar A believes X. Likewise, Scholar B argues compellingly in favour of this point of view.”

10. Similarly

Usage: Use “similarly” in the same way as “likewise”. Example: “Audiences at the time reacted with shock to Beethoven’s new work, because it was very different to what they were used to. Similarly, we have a tendency to react with surprise to the unfamiliar.”

11. Another key thing to remember

Usage: Use the phrase “another key point to remember” or “another key fact to remember” to introduce additional facts without using the word “also”. Example: “As a Romantic, Blake was a proponent of a closer relationship between humans and nature. Another key point to remember is that Blake was writing during the Industrial Revolution, which had a major impact on the world around him.”

12. As well as

Usage: Use “as well as” instead of “also” or “and”. Example: “Scholar A argued that this was due to X, as well as Y.”

13. Not only… but also

Usage: This wording is used to add an extra piece of information, often something that’s in some way more surprising or unexpected than the first piece of information. Example: “Not only did Edmund Hillary have the honour of being the first to reach the summit of Everest, but he was also appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.”

14. Coupled with

Usage: Used when considering two or more arguments at a time. Example: “Coupled with the literary evidence, the statistics paint a compelling view of…”

15. Firstly, secondly, thirdly…

Usage: This can be used to structure an argument, presenting facts clearly one after the other. Example: “There are many points in support of this view. Firstly, X. Secondly, Y. And thirdly, Z.

16. Not to mention/to say nothing of

Usage: “Not to mention” and “to say nothing of” can be used to add extra information with a bit of emphasis. Example: “The war caused unprecedented suffering to millions of people, not to mention its impact on the country’s economy.”

Words and phrases for demonstrating contrast

When you’re developing an argument, you will often need to present contrasting or opposing opinions or evidence – “it could show this, but it could also show this”, or “X says this, but Y disagrees”. This section covers words you can use instead of the “but” in these examples, to make your writing sound more intelligent and interesting.

17. However

Usage: Use “however” to introduce a point that disagrees with what you’ve just said. Example: “Scholar A thinks this. However, Scholar B reached a different conclusion.”

18. On the other hand

Usage: Usage of this phrase includes introducing a contrasting interpretation of the same piece of evidence, a different piece of evidence that suggests something else, or an opposing opinion. Example: “The historical evidence appears to suggest a clear-cut situation. On the other hand, the archaeological evidence presents a somewhat less straightforward picture of what happened that day.”

19. Having said that

Usage: Used in a similar manner to “on the other hand” or “but”. Example: “The historians are unanimous in telling us X, an agreement that suggests that this version of events must be an accurate account. Having said that, the archaeology tells a different story.”

20. By contrast/in comparison

Usage: Use “by contrast” or “in comparison” when you’re comparing and contrasting pieces of evidence. Example: “Scholar A’s opinion, then, is based on insufficient evidence. By contrast, Scholar B’s opinion seems more plausible.”

21. Then again

Usage: Use this to cast doubt on an assertion. Example: “Writer A asserts that this was the reason for what happened. Then again, it’s possible that he was being paid to say this.”

22. That said

Usage: This is used in the same way as “then again”. Example: “The evidence ostensibly appears to point to this conclusion. That said, much of the evidence is unreliable at best.”

Usage: Use this when you want to introduce a contrasting idea. Example: “Much of scholarship has focused on this evidence. Yet not everyone agrees that this is the most important aspect of the situation.”

Adding a proviso or acknowledging reservations

Sometimes, you may need to acknowledge a shortfalling in a piece of evidence, or add a proviso. Here are some ways of doing so.

24. Despite this

Usage: Use “despite this” or “in spite of this” when you want to outline a point that stands regardless of a shortfalling in the evidence. Example: “The sample size was small, but the results were important despite this.”

25. With this in mind

Usage: Use this when you want your reader to consider a point in the knowledge of something else. Example: “We’ve seen that the methods used in the 19th century study did not always live up to the rigorous standards expected in scientific research today, which makes it difficult to draw definite conclusions. With this in mind, let’s look at a more recent study to see how the results compare.”

26. Provided that

Usage: This means “on condition that”. You can also say “providing that” or just “providing” to mean the same thing. Example: “We may use this as evidence to support our argument, provided that we bear in mind the limitations of the methods used to obtain it.”

27. In view of/in light of

Usage: These phrases are used when something has shed light on something else. Example: “In light of the evidence from the 2013 study, we have a better understanding of…”

28. Nonetheless

Usage: This is similar to “despite this”. Example: “The study had its limitations, but it was nonetheless groundbreaking for its day.”

29. Nevertheless

Usage: This is the same as “nonetheless”. Example: “The study was flawed, but it was important nevertheless.”

30. Notwithstanding

Usage: This is another way of saying “nonetheless”. Example: “Notwithstanding the limitations of the methodology used, it was an important study in the development of how we view the workings of the human mind.”

Giving examples

Good essays always back up points with examples, but it’s going to get boring if you use the expression “for example” every time. Here are a couple of other ways of saying the same thing.

31. For instance

Example: “Some birds migrate to avoid harsher winter climates. Swallows, for instance, leave the UK in early winter and fly south…”

32. To give an illustration

Example: “To give an illustration of what I mean, let’s look at the case of…”

Signifying importance

When you want to demonstrate that a point is particularly important, there are several ways of highlighting it as such.

33. Significantly

Usage: Used to introduce a point that is loaded with meaning that might not be immediately apparent. Example: “Significantly, Tacitus omits to tell us the kind of gossip prevalent in Suetonius’ accounts of the same period.”

34. Notably

Usage: This can be used to mean “significantly” (as above), and it can also be used interchangeably with “in particular” (the example below demonstrates the first of these ways of using it). Example: “Actual figures are notably absent from Scholar A’s analysis.”

35. Importantly

Usage: Use “importantly” interchangeably with “significantly”. Example: “Importantly, Scholar A was being employed by X when he wrote this work, and was presumably therefore under pressure to portray the situation more favourably than he perhaps might otherwise have done.”

Summarising

You’ve almost made it to the end of the essay, but your work isn’t over yet. You need to end by wrapping up everything you’ve talked about, showing that you’ve considered the arguments on both sides and reached the most likely conclusion. Here are some words and phrases to help you.

36. In conclusion

Usage: Typically used to introduce the concluding paragraph or sentence of an essay, summarising what you’ve discussed in a broad overview. Example: “In conclusion, the evidence points almost exclusively to Argument A.”

37. Above all

Usage: Used to signify what you believe to be the most significant point, and the main takeaway from the essay. Example: “Above all, it seems pertinent to remember that…”

38. Persuasive

Usage: This is a useful word to use when summarising which argument you find most convincing. Example: “Scholar A’s point – that Constanze Mozart was motivated by financial gain – seems to me to be the most persuasive argument for her actions following Mozart’s death.”

39. Compelling

Usage: Use in the same way as “persuasive” above. Example: “The most compelling argument is presented by Scholar A.”

40. All things considered

Usage: This means “taking everything into account”. Example: “All things considered, it seems reasonable to assume that…”

Writing advice for small business

How to Write Beautifully (Hint: It’s Not Just About Style)

by Henneke | 68 enchanting opinions, add yours? :)

The Irish poet John O’Donohue said :

“Beauty is that in the presence of which we feel more alive.”

I like that. I can feel the presence of beauty when sun rays peek through the trees. I can hear the beauty in the raw voice of 71-year old Johnny Cash singing We’ll meet again. I can witness beauty in an unexpected gesture of kindness.

In such moments, I feel fully present, and I feel alive.

Beauty is not a luxury.

It’s an essence of life. A moment of wonder. Yo-Yo Ma calls it the moment a transfer of life takes place.

And beautiful writing?

I used to think that beautiful writing was just about a poetic writing style .

Beautiful writing is vivid, concise, and rhythmic. Each word is chosen with care.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize there’s more to beautiful writing than style.

Beautiful writing is alive. It’s human. It has depth—there’s thought and meaning behind it. As a reader you feel connected to the writer, you sense their presence. And yes, there’s that transfer of life.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, then you might know I’m a fan of Apple’s copy . I’ve called Apple’s copywriters the poets of the marketing world.

But is their copy beautiful?

It’s certainly compelling. It has rhythm. There’s rhyme and a playfulness with words.

But of course, it’s only marketing; and there’s a superficiality to it. You don’t feel the real presence of the person who wrote it.

So, that’s not quite what I mean with beautiful writing.

This is beautiful …

I recently read The Light of the World , a memoir by Elizabeth Alexander.

I read it in October and then again a couple of weeks ago. It’s rare that I read a book twice.

Alexander loses her husband due to a cardiac arrest shortly after his 50th birthday. But more than a story of loss, her book is a story of love, and how love sustains us and provides solace. As Alexander suggests in her opening sentence:

The story seems to begin with catastrophe but in fact began earlier and is not a tragedy but rather a love story.

Her writing touched me more than anything else I’ve read this year.

There’s an art to vivid writing

Writing vividly is not about picking as many details as possible to describe a scene.

It’s about picking the most fascinating or the most characteristic details that can help convey your ideas.

For instance, here’s how Alexander describes Ficre—her husband:

His teeth were straight, white, and bright without benefit of American orthodonture. In photographs he disdained “cheesing” and set his lips firmly closed, but his smile was quick and shone full sunshine. He shaved his head on account of his receding hairline, and surely no one ever looked more beautiful bald—brown like a chestnut, clear brown, like topaz or buckwheat honey (“Did you know that buckwheat is neither grass nor wheat and is closely related to rhubarb?” I can hear him say).

I love that note in parentheses . A small detail that says so much.

Ficre was an artist and a chef. He ran a restaurant together with his brother, and this is what Alexander writes about his cooking:

Ficre created legendary dishes such as shrimp barka that existed nowhere in Eritrea but rather in his own inventive imagination. Women called for it from St. Raphael’s and Yale-New Haven Hospitals after they’d delivered their babies; people said they literally dreamed of it, a fairy food that tasted like nothing else.

The more I read, the more I realize how good writers pay attention. First, to what happens inside them and around them—what they hear, see, feel, taste, and smell. Next, they pay attention to how to express that in words:

Ficre, you would love this macchiato: perfectly smooth, strong but not sharp, fortissimo but shy of bitter, with a sexy plouf of milk foam dead center in the tiny white cup.

I’m not a coffee drinker. I’ve never had a macchiato in my life. But reading that, it feels like I can almost taste that cup of macchiato. I certainly smell the coffee, and I can feel the milk foam against my upper lip.

The writing gets even better when it’s about love …

How can you describe love?

I once read that you can’t describe love with words. It’s always cliched. I am hopeless about keeping track of quotes and can’t find the source anymore.

But whoever said it, is wrong.

Alexander shows us how to describe love without resorting to cliches. She describes meeting her husband for the first time:

That was always a good story: an actual coup de foudre, a bolt of lightning, love at first sight. I felt a visceral torque, I would tell people, a literal churn of my organs: not butterflies, not arousal; rather, a not-unpleasant rotation of my innards, as never before.

There’s so much tenderness in the writing:

He had a scar on his hip from a dog bite in his childhood. Our first night together I kissed it and he breathed the most profound sigh and asked how did I know exactly where he wanted to be touched, that no one had ever touched him there. Our romance was like that, healing every old wound with magic disappearing powers until they were all tended.

And after his death:

As I make the pasta I remember Ficre in our kitchen teaching me how to more adeptly use a knife, to preheat a pan, to press garlic cloves so the paper jackets slip off, to simmer tomatoes until they turn sweet and roast beets until they are like candy. The boys and I eat our delicious spaghetti until sated. Our whole bodies are warm. Ficre is in our stomachs.

I love that: Our whole bodies are warm. Ficre is in our stomachs.

I can’t do Alexander’s writing justice with just a few short quotes. I feel touched by her writing, the vivid imagery, the tenderness, the loss, the love woven through her words.

Love and loss connect us all

And writing this post made me wonder …

I know most of us write for business but let’s forget about AI and upping our productivity for a moment.

What if we all put a little more humanness into our writing?

And dare I say it: What if we all put a little more love into our writing?

In our anxious world, could our writing build some bridges? Could our collective writing be a force for good?

Maybe I’m a hopeless idealist, but I’d like to think so. There can be so much power in writing. A spark. A sense of connection.

That magical transfer of life.

la leo y no dudo es su autenticidad. En letras más allá del marketing. Sí, la apoyo en colocar ese grano de corazón al escribir. En que tengamos esperanza en aportar a la humanidad en las letras. Muchas gracias.

December 15, 2023 at 10:28 am

I’m glad you enjoyed this, Carlos.

December 12, 2023 at 3:54 pm

I love this. Upon your suggestion, I’m reading her book now and true of any well written poet, Alexander conveys a mountain of emotion with a molehill of words. I’ve always admired poets for their ability to do that. We can learn a lot about writing from reading her work. Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.” No surprise with so much artificial everything swirling around us. Alexander’s writing is purely authentic and a joy to read. Thank you for the recommendation.

December 13, 2023 at 11:15 am

I’m glad you love Alexander’s work, too. So much to learn from.

And yes to more authenticity, more humanness, more love in our writing.

Thank you for stopping by, Mary Ann. I appreciate it.

December 11, 2023 at 3:15 pm

I recently signed up for your Snack Series of emails and I have to say it’s probably one of the best things I did. I love the way you write, and I also love the way you teach this wonderful craft.

With any luck, your teachings will help me to improve the content on my site, and at the same time, get more traffic. Thank you so much for taking the time, and putting so much effort into this.

It is truly appreciated!

December 11, 2023 at 3:35 pm

Thank you so much, Drew. Lovely feedback.

December 9, 2023 at 11:11 am

Agradecido pelo seu email, faço questão de abrí-lo sempre que aparece em minha caixa principal. Tenho tido dificuldades em escrever desta forma, as vezes sinto-me bloqueado e sem inspiração! As palavras não fluem om naturalidade. Sempre recorro a arquivo de furto. Como posso melhorar minha forma de escrever?

December 13, 2023 at 11:12 am

Thank you for reading my work. I wrote about improving your writing style here: https://www.enchantingmarketing.com/how-to-improve-your-writing-style/

December 7, 2023 at 1:00 pm

Reading this felt like taking sips from fine, beautifully-aged wine.

December 7, 2023 at 1:06 pm

That’s a lovely compliment. Thank you, Ebube.

November 30, 2023 at 6:21 pm

I was beginning to think AI will take over our writing and have no more use for us humans, but after reading your inspiring story I doubt whether we can ever be replaced. Thanks Henneke for sharing.

December 1, 2023 at 10:28 am

I like what Nick Cave said about AI songwriting: “I’m a songwriter who is engaged, at this very moment, in the process of songwriting. It’s a blood and guts business, here at my desk, that requires something of me to initiate the new and fresh idea. It requires my humanness.”

November 30, 2023 at 1:55 pm

Hi Henneke, Came to this article by searching for “how to write beautifully” in Google (you’re ranking top 10 in USA haha, nice!)

I was asking ChatGPT to make my content more beautifully, but after 100 prompts I realised only real human can put their heart in it to make a difference between good and beautiful content.

You inspired me with: “Writing vividly is not about picking as many details as possible to describe a scene.

It’s about picking the most fascinating or the most characteristic details that can help convey your ideas.”

Thank you! Gonna try to make my content more beautiful, even though it’s a non-romantic subject haha.

November 30, 2023 at 5:22 pm

Yes, you can put your heart into any piece of writing; it doesn’t need to be romantic. You just have to show your reader that you care about them. Happy writing! And thank you for stopping by.

November 30, 2023 at 1:20 pm

Well I certainly didn’t expect to end up crying reading your email but here I am.

Thanks for the inspiration.

November 30, 2023 at 5:20 pm

I’m sending hugs! ♥️

November 30, 2023 at 7:34 am

I’m so glad l clicked the link in your email. This is a great post and I’m happy that you (who write beautifully) have shared another person’s beautiful writing.

And I enjoyed reading the other comments too!

November 30, 2023 at 11:44 am

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Leena. I appreciate it!

November 29, 2023 at 12:26 pm

Your last concluding paragraph – gold! Thanks for bringing this to our attention, couldn’t agree more. Book now on wishlist!

November 29, 2023 at 3:09 pm

I’m so glad you agree, Virginia. Thank you!

November 28, 2023 at 11:30 pm

Thanks Henneke!

Between all the Black Friday emails.

FOMO Overload on Steroids.

And me trying to make sense of how to use AI to not feel totally left out of the human race in the race to advance professionally as a copywriter your post saves this day.

I went to the library. (Boycotting buying stuff from Amazon for at least half a day. No Way?! At this time of year?!)

Yes, I travelled to the local library, a beautiful, magnificent building. A physical structure and found this book on the shelf.

Before I checked it out I sat down and lost myself for the first half of it. I didn’t even notice the intense stench of the homeless person slumped over in the desk next to me until I couldn’t figure out what was louder their snoring or my stomach rumbling.

Or was it their tummy? At that moment maybe we synched on hunger?

Probably not. I realized I shouldn’t bitch about most things.

Especially after reading from this gift of a book about lose and gain.

Thanks again,

I hope this message finds you well.

November 29, 2023 at 10:28 am

Ugh. Black Friday emails. I find the craziness overwhelming so tend to ignore almost all of it. I don’t send out any Black Friday or Cyber Monday emails myself.

And how nice to have such a beautiful library nearby. I hope you got yourself something to eat!

Thank you for stopping by, Phil. As always, I appreciate it.

PS I also like your intention to boycott Amazon for a while. I wish I wasn’t so much addicted to my Kindle. Otherwise, I do try to avoid them.

November 28, 2023 at 10:32 pm

Henneke, Your thoughts are amazing as always. Being human and writing like a human… isn’t easy. I’ve been wanting to ask you, have you read Trust by Hernan Diaz? To me, its local construction is oatmeal with diamonds. Hard to plow through storyline dotted with sentences that capture a lifetime of insight about human thought and experience. Like, screetch, let me think about this one for days kind of sentences. And the overall plot design (discovered at the end) is something I haven’t seen before. Also magnificent. When I read it I wondered what you thought about it. Hugs, Louise

November 29, 2023 at 10:23 am

Hi Louise, How lovely to see you pop up here again. I haven’t read Trust but you’re making me curious! I’m adding it to my reading list. Thank you. A good book recommendation is like a gift.

November 28, 2023 at 7:34 pm

Your “Maybe I’m a hopeless idealist, but I’d like to think so.” brought tears to my eyes.

And, thanks for sharing Alexander’s beautiful writing Henneke, I look forward to reading the book.

November 28, 2023 at 8:53 pm

I’m starting to think that maybe it’s okay to be an idealist. The sentiment here seems to resonate with quite a few people. (More than I had expected.)

I hope you’ll love Alexander’s book as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by, Joan.

November 28, 2023 at 2:59 pm

Wow! This is really beautiful and evocative writing. I must seek this out. Thanks for the recommendation and the wonderful analysis.

November 28, 2023 at 3:57 pm

I hope you’ll love her book as much as I did. It’s even better than what I shared here. I might want to reread again soon.

November 28, 2023 at 2:50 pm

Thank for sharing the words from Alexander’s book. I’m always on the hunt for beautiful words, and these were stunning. I found a used copy and can hardly wait to read the book.

The quote from O’Donohue inspired my writing for today. And that Yeats quote…goodness, you hit the mark on so many levels today, Henneke. Thank you!

November 28, 2023 at 3:56 pm

That O’Donohue quote struck me so much, too. It really helped me rethink beauty (and life!).

Thanks so much for stopping by, Kathryn. I appreciate it.

November 28, 2023 at 2:35 pm

Dear Henneke… you are a unique soul creating little islands of perfect prose in the turbulent seas of noisy, attention-grabbing, time-gobbling content. This is such a joy to read. Thank you.

I think you will love a beautiful book that comes from the other side of the coin – written not by the bereaved husband, but by the terminally ill wife.

I was so inspired by this gem of a book that I wrote about it from the heart and have received wonderful affirmations from people who knew her. I hope my post will persuade you her book is worth reading. https://suebrett.link/Sophie-post

November 28, 2023 at 3:50 pm

I remember reading this post from you before and admiring your courage and also your generous review of Sophie Cabbage’s book. I’ll check it out. Thanks you!

November 28, 2023 at 6:50 pm

Oops, I forgot that I’d shared it with you already! Enjoy.

November 28, 2023 at 8:52 pm

Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. It’s good to share again, especially as it’s publicly here. Maybe others want to read it, too. I just wanted to let you know I do pay attention and appreciate what you’re sending me.

November 28, 2023 at 2:25 pm

That is beautiful. A beautiful tribute and such a lovely sentiment. Thank you Henneke x

November 28, 2023 at 3:44 pm

Thank you, Sue xx

November 28, 2023 at 2:24 pm

Elizabeth Alexander’s words and thoughts are, as I perceive them, poetic prose.

My Santa hat off to you, Henneke, for giving me and your readers an opportunity to benefit from, and experience, the wealth of “The Light of the World”. I look forward to reading it.

Elizabeth Alexander has published several works of poetry. Some of the best prose seems to be written by poets.

November 28, 2023 at 2:22 pm

Thank you for the introduction to Elizabeth Alexander and her unique voice. I’m so inspired by this article. And grateful to you for demonstrating how to hold up another’s work as an example. And finally, so glad for this reminder to embrace our own humanness as we take the opportunity to write.

November 28, 2023 at 3:39 pm

I’m so glad this resonated with you, Joanne. Here’s to more humanness in all of our writing. Thank you for stopping by!

November 28, 2023 at 2:16 pm

You’re so good. Thank you for the reminder that we can each do more with our words. Intentionally. Peace

November 28, 2023 at 3:38 pm

Peace to you, too, Keith. And yes, we each can do more with our words. Me, too!

November 28, 2023 at 2:04 pm

I love this post, Henneke— and your call to action! More love in our writing could light up the world.

You are a beautiful example of that.

November 28, 2023 at 3:36 pm

Thank you, Christy. That’s a lovely compliment.

November 28, 2023 at 1:53 pm

Wonderful! Write from the heart, not from the mind. Your description of the book, and your quotations from it, compelled me to buy it immediately. I`m sure I will love reading. And be inspired by it. Every year on the birthdays of my five grandsons, I write to them. We live far away from each other. They are in the United States, and my wife and I live in Brazil. I think of them, open my notebook, and write what comes from my heart. I feel plenty. And they feel touched. Thank you very much for this beautiful blog.

What a beautiful tradition to write to your grandsons on their birthdays. Personal letters can be such a treasure.

I hope you’ll love Elizabeth Alexander’s book, too.

November 28, 2023 at 1:15 pm

Such warmth, tenderness and love whirling from her writing; I ran straight to Amazon for my fresh copy. Thank you, Henneke for your amazing, genuine writing, and bringing equally awesome people to us! ❤️

I hope you’ll enjoy Elizabeth Alexander’s writing, too. Thank you for your kind words, Aisha. ❤️

November 28, 2023 at 12:51 pm

Hi Henneke, when writing takes us to a whole new level of feeling, it’s so powerful. Humanness and storytelling are so so important, especially in business, where in this age of AI, everyone’s content might appear a bit samey. When we get it right, it feels like we’re doing a beautiful favour to humankind.

Only yesterday I posted about the heart-tugging storytelling by Charlie’s Bar in their social media video. Another story related to grief – a lovely thing. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/markyreynolds_storytellinginbusiness-videostorytelling-activity-7134916540398735361-FLxT

November 28, 2023 at 1:05 pm

Yes, that story made me cry! “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met.” ~ W.B. Yeats

November 28, 2023 at 2:45 pm

Yes, so well put together. It seems to be easier to create emotive content with video than words. But it’s challenging to do it well in whichever form. But Elizabeth Alexander shows the heights and depth we can achieve with writing – beautiful. Hopefully, as AI takes more and more attention, many more writers/creators will draw on their life experiences to truly take readers/viewers to another place.

The pub manager who came up with the idea for the viral video said…”The idea came really from what we have seen over the years in the bar.”

I hope more and more creatives over the coming years draw on their own experiences to create beautiful stories. Here’s hoping.

November 28, 2023 at 3:55 pm

I think you might be right. It’s probably easier to create emotive content with video.

Still, I would say that Elizabeth Alexander’s writing touches me on a much deeper level than any video I’ve ever seen. I don’t know whether that’s just my personal preference? You’ll find me sooner with a book than watching TV.

We cannot let AI take over and take all humanness out of our writing. It would be a great loss.

November 29, 2023 at 12:51 pm

Will AI get really good at storytelling? Probably. What does that mean for creativity? Maybe creativity will only truly exist in the prompts used to create great stories. Is that sad? Yes. Will we lose all sense of what is human in content? Maybe. How will humans use their creativity when creating content? In forming a concept or idea of something, rather than its execution? Crazy times. Among the challenges, I’m sure there’s creative opportunity. There will be plenty of years ahead where creative human brilliance will still cut through the AI noise. Will AI take humanness out of writing… or will it make it easier for people to add more beauty to our writing? [Controversial. I’m now hiding under tin hat!]

November 29, 2023 at 3:20 pm

You don’t need a tin hat here! I wouldn’t call it controversial; it appears to be the majority view.

Many people will be glad to outsource writing to an app. I understand that, and that’s fine with me.

But for me, writing is a way to connect and engage, and I couldn’t outsource that to an app. Writing is also a way to be creative; and it makes me feel alive. I’d feel lost without it. Writing is a form of personal development. It helps me discover my values, my true self. I wouldn’t and couldn’t outsource that. And as far as I know, AI also can’t be a thought leader yet.

November 29, 2023 at 11:31 pm

I hear you Henneke, it’s all so interesting. Thanks for sharing your take on it. Continuing your point with an appropriate analogy (I think)…fast forward 50 years… when ‘we’ are having a real-life conversation with family or close friends, would we outsource our side of the conversation to a robot? Yes, the bot might do it perfectly well, but we would lose so much of the experience. As you say, we wouldn’t feel alive. Some people might be okay with that, I’m hoping many won’t. So, in the future, if it’s via written word or talking (or in other forms), whether it’s with family, friends, a business audience; if we care about them, ourselves and the relationship, maybe creative, beautiful writing will always be here to help us truly connect and engage? I love your point Henneke. Very true.

November 28, 2023 at 12:50 pm

today I instinctively read your post and was glad to because it is about love and writing with love. I loved it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your experiences on reading the book. I was touched by this post. 🌹

November 28, 2023 at 12:54 pm

Thank you, Smita. My email announcing this post probably didn’t do it justice. I’m glad you clicked to read anyway.

November 28, 2023 at 12:40 pm

Henneke, thank you for this beautiful post. I resonate deeply with what you are offering us [and have put this book on my list for Santa!]. This transfer of life you speak of is such a wonderful way to describe what happens when we experience art that moves us. That touches more than just our logical brains. I started following you as an entrepreneur who wanted to learn to write more effectively for her business, but over the years I have discovered a longing for more reading and writing that offers this sense of aliveness you describe. When I truly let go of any agenda, and write from my heart and embodied experience [not that my writing is anywhere like as beautiful as these examples] I have found that it can create deep connection. With myself, with my readers, with my experience of life, readers with one another. My sense is that many people are longing for this deeper sense of connection and aliveness, and if we provide a service -as you and I do – allowing ourselves to write from this place is a gift to us and others. It takes longer and does require love and patience but in the end it can be what has us stand out. You truly stand out for me as a teacher of writing, because I can feel the love you pour into your work. Thank you.

November 28, 2023 at 12:53 pm

You put it so eloquently, and this is something I struggle with: I tend to think people follow me for persuasive writing tips. So, what am I then doing writing a post about love and connection? It doesn’t feel business-like, and it made me feel surprisingly vulnerable to publish this today.

Yet, I agree with you that many of us are longing for this deeper sense of connection and aliveness, and it feels important to me to write about this even when I feel hesitant. And yes, it’s about writing from the heart and writing as a more embodied experience. And it’s not necessary to write poetically. We can make deeper connection if we’re more real, more human. Our writing will enrich both our readers and ourselves.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and write your comment, Claire. I much appreciate it.

November 29, 2023 at 4:55 pm

It’s my pleasure…And what you say about writing even when you feel hesitant – it is so important. When we write what feels hard to write, it is an ‘alive’ place to write from. A mentor of mine says – “write from the edge of fear.” It allows readers to see more of us, and the experience of reading this ‘alive’ kind of writing allows the reader to see and appreciate more of themselves.

It also occurred to me that what you do – writing about what is not obviously linked to ‘business writing’ is a ‘poetic’ act. It’s what poets do. Bring together unlikely and new combination of subjects. See meaning through their own unique human lens, that might not be obvious to other people, and create something from it so we can all appreciate a new perspective on the ordinary, everyday parts of life 🙂 This is so needed in our world.

November 30, 2023 at 5:32 pm

I’ve also learned that nervousness is usually a good sign. It’s a sign that I publish something that matters to me and I’ve put my heart into it. I like how your mentor phrases that: Writing from the edge of fear. A wise mentor. And I appreciate your sharing this.

I also very much like how you see creating new combinations of ideas as poetic acts. It seems there’s such a strong current against us as the advice so often is: Write about what’s popular. But it’s important to give ourselves permission to follow our curiosity, to rewild our attention (rather than slavishly follow what the algorithms serve us), and to write what matters to us. That’s how we find our voice and discover our unique perspectives. It’ll make the world richer and more colorful if we all do a little more of that.

November 28, 2023 at 2:46 pm

Yes, I believe people are looking for hope, for inspiration, for their wholeness. Writers can give that gift.

November 28, 2023 at 12:23 pm

I always open, no matter how busy I am, only 4 newsletters. Yours is one of them.

You not only educate, dear Henneke. You inspire.

Thank you for your beautiful words.

November 28, 2023 at 12:25 pm

Thank you so much, Maggie. That means a lot to me.

You also make me curious. Which are the other three? Maybe I’d like to start reading them, too.

November 28, 2023 at 12:36 pm

Haha. 🙂 Well, it’s like standing on the shoulders of 4 giants. So, there is you. Then Ann Handley. Laura Belgray. Andy Crestodina. I wouldn’t be surprised if you follow them as well. 🙂

P.S. I love your books.

November 28, 2023 at 12:41 pm

Yes, you’re right. I love Ann Handley’s stories. I always read her newsletter. And Andy Crestodina’s content marketing tips are so so useful. I know some of Laura Belgray’s work but don’t follow her religiously. Maybe I should. I’m honored to be in such great company.

November 28, 2023 at 1:14 pm

I must admit Laura is not everybody’s cup of tea. A bit too aggressive marketing at times. But I love how witty she is and her writing style.

Indeed you are in great company and for a reason! After following you for so many years, I finally took the courage to comment. Should have done it sooner. 🙂

Have a lovely holiday season, dear Henneke.

Thanks again for, well, for being you.

November 28, 2023 at 1:27 pm

I’m glad you picked up the courage to start commenting, Maggie. It makes a real difference for me.

I hope you’ll have a lovely holiday season, too.

Everyone's handwriting is unique, like a fingerprint. All you have to do is tweak your penmanship a little bit and you'll have beautiful and interesting handwriting. Beautiful writing is classy, tasteful, impressive, and attractive.

Understanding the Basics

• Determine what letters you naturally embellish. Which have curls and flourishes?
• Look at your spacing. Is it all over the place or are your letters more evenly distributed on the page?
• Look at the pen or pencil strokes you use. You'll want a mix of thin and thick strokes in your letters.

• To determine this, write a paragraph as you normally would. Pay attention to which muscles you're using. This will tell you if you're writing too much with only your hand rather than your whole arm in a loose, relaxed manner.
• Your fingers are there to be the guides on the page, but they shouldn't be doing all the work, otherwise your writing will be cramped and tight.
• Your arm and shoulder should be moving, but not your wrist and fingers.

• Nicer paper (usually more expensive) rather than computer paper will make your handwriting better, because you won't have to deal with smudges and tears and bleeding ink. You can find some at a stationery shop.
• Moleskin journals can be very good for practicing beautiful writing in, because the paper helps your handwriting become smoother.
• People often use fountain pens rather than a cheap plastic ballpoint, because nicer pens have a better ink flow, but you could also use something like a calligraphy marker or Sanford elegant writer, which make nice variations in length and width of your letters because of the flat tip. They also tend to have bold colors.

• Write as if your hand is moving through water.

• Practice writing on lined paper to learn spacing. Spacing between letters and between words (you want it to be pretty uniform) is incredibly important for creating beautiful handwriting.
• Doodle constantly. Doodle on the margins of notebooks, while you're waiting for the bus, while you're on the phone. It will help you relax and get accustomed to your more beautiful writing.

Using Cursive

• You want to make sure that your letters are evenly spaced, so practice on lined paper so you can see the spacing.
• There are lots of free cursive worksheets and workbooks, either on the internet or in your local library.

• This position helps to alleviate the pain in forearm, wrist, and thumb.

• The connections are simply the "air" between the letters when you would normally lift your writing utensil.
• Make sure to close gaps on the tops of words. If they aren't closed it will be difficult to tell if a lowercase letter is an "a" or a "u."

Using Calligraphy

• The pen should sit between your first two knuckles, gripped by your thumb and first finger. It should rest against the middle finger.
• For the proper position of the pen you need to make sure that you're holding it at a 45 degree angle. To test this, draw a right angle (90 degrees) with a pencil. From the corner of the angle slide your pen upward cutting the right angle in half. It should be a thin stroke.

• Broad edge writing tools that work well for calligraphy are markers, fountain pens, staff with inserted nibs (tips), brushes, quills, or reeds.
• You will want paper that doesn't bleed ink through. You can practice on regular notebook paper. Check the cotton content of paper, because papers with a cotton content to give a crisper line. Of course you can always find paper specially for calligraphy and if you have a calligraphy set it often comes with appropriate paper.
• In terms of inks, you want to stay away from india drawing inks, because the lacquer in them has a tendency to rust the nibs of pens and to clog pens. It's better to find a water soluble ink.

• Baseline is the writing line that all letters sit on.
• Waistline is the line above the baseline, which changes according to the x-height of the letter (in this case, 5 nibs above baseline).
• Ascending line is the line that all ascending letters hit. It should be 5 nibs above the waistline (or whichever nib length you're using). Ascending letters are the letter like a lowercase "h" or "l."
• Descending line is the line that descending letters hit. It should be 5 nibs below the baseline. Descending letters are the ones like a lowercase "g," or "f."

• Play around with your pen and ink. Make circles, tents, and lines as practice so you get the feel for the angle and the press of the pen.

Getting Creative

• Look at the works of artists, graphic designers, calligraphers and see how they use their words to create a distinctive style.
• Pay attention to things like billboards, signs, menus, posters for the styles of writing that they use.
• Look at patterns (like quilt patterns, drawing patterns) for inspiration on how to make your writing more interesting. You can even look at the shapes and lines of trees.

• There are lots of ancient scripts that could be interesting and creative to incorporate into your own writing style. Check out Ancient Egyptian hieratic or hieroglyphic scripts or Norse runes.

• You could make a hand lettered ornament, by using a permanent type pen on a plain round ornament with words you have chosen.
• You could make a poster with the words of a poem or quote you like.

Community Q&A

• Don't stress yourself. Pressuring can affect the actions of the human body. Just think of this as a fun game! It'll make the pressure less. Thanks Helpful 54 Not Helpful 9
• Practice, practice, practice. This is the best way to have consistently beautiful writing. You'll need to make sure that you're practicing proper position of body and pen, as well as the words themselves. Thanks Helpful 120 Not Helpful 32

• If you're cramping too much in your hand, you're probably writing too hard or in the wrong position. Try a few different positions to find the one that works for you. Thanks Helpful 90 Not Helpful 26

• 8 Tips to Make Assignments Look Professionally Aesthetic

• By myaproadm

A good design is critical for your assignments. As it can mean the difference between getting good marks and getting an excellent grade. Well-designed assignments can ensure that your work impresses your professors, stands out from the rest of the class, and shows the amount of effort you (or your group) put into this project. You’ll be astonished to know that good design holds the same importance for various assignment help service providers like My Assignments Pro when you search for My Assignment Help .

8 Tips to make your assignment aesthetically beautiful:

1. Adhere to the rules

Before submitting the tasks, students are always told to follow the university guidelines or the teacher’s suggestions. So, when preparing your projects for submission, make sure that you follow the requirements outlined in the policy; otherwise, this oversight could cost you a lot of money during inspections.

2. Less is more

Overly presented tasks are clunky, but they also give the impression that the assignment was prepared solely for writing. Though it is good to have thought let me include as much material as possible in my assignment to help me score better, but it is only regarded as perfect when the information is acceptable and relevant to the context.

3. Straightforward appearance

When it comes to designing assignments, don’t fall into the trap of over-decorating. Everything would appear a little cheesy and overly displayed, and the words themselves would be meaningless if they were not arranged properly. So, please keep it presentable and straightforward because simplicity is the key to getting good marks.

4. Select the appropriate typeface

The fonts you use for your assignment should be simple and easy to read. Teachers love them since they are formal in context and easy to understand while reading.

5. Make font colour and size readable

The wrong font size for your content might sometimes defeat the purpose of delivering it to the teacher. When writing, please don’t make it look too big or too little; instead, stick to the ones that come before the structural ethics. There’s no need to spruce up your typeface with flashy colours, as this could detract from the idea of doing a professional task.

6. Complete the alignment process

Remember that alignment is critical for your assignment because there is no purpose in achieving well in academics if the content is not presented in a logical order. As a result, you must guarantee that every sentence and paragraph in your assignment is aligned correctly.

7. Pay attention to punctuation

If the correct punctuation is not correctly inserted at the appropriate location, the entire meaning of the sentence may be altered, and you will be unable to communicate the right message to your audience through the content. So, to convey the correct meaning of your article, make sure you use punctuation in the appropriate places.

8. An excellent conclusion to each paragraph

There’s no use in guaranteeing a fantastic rhythm or sequence to your content if the last sentence of each paragraph doesn’t have an appropriate ending. If you don’t end your sections with the correct meaning, you might not be able to connect the two paragraphs, let alone the entire context.

Conclusion:  These pointers by My Assignments Pro should have convinced you of the necessity of assignment design and styling. If you’re having trouble making your assignment look aesthetically professional, these pointers will undoubtedly come in handy otherwise My Assignments Pro is 24*7 available online to help you. So, go ahead and make a search for My Assignment Help.

Understanding Assignments

What this handout is about.

The first step in any successful college writing venture is reading the assignment. While this sounds like a simple task, it can be a tough one. This handout will help you unravel your assignment and begin to craft an effective response. Much of the following advice will involve translating typical assignment terms and practices into meaningful clues to the type of writing your instructor expects. See our short video for more tips.

Basic beginnings

Regardless of the assignment, department, or instructor, adopting these two habits will serve you well :

• Read the assignment carefully as soon as you receive it. Do not put this task off—reading the assignment at the beginning will save you time, stress, and problems later. An assignment can look pretty straightforward at first, particularly if the instructor has provided lots of information. That does not mean it will not take time and effort to complete; you may even have to learn a new skill to complete the assignment.
• Ask the instructor about anything you do not understand. Do not hesitate to approach your instructor. Instructors would prefer to set you straight before you hand the paper in. That’s also when you will find their feedback most useful.

Assignment formats

Many assignments follow a basic format. Assignments often begin with an overview of the topic, include a central verb or verbs that describe the task, and offer some additional suggestions, questions, or prompts to get you started.

An Overview of Some Kind

The instructor might set the stage with some general discussion of the subject of the assignment, introduce the topic, or remind you of something pertinent that you have discussed in class. For example:

“Throughout history, gerbils have played a key role in politics,” or “In the last few weeks of class, we have focused on the evening wear of the housefly …”

The Task of the Assignment

Pay attention; this part tells you what to do when you write the paper. Look for the key verb or verbs in the sentence. Words like analyze, summarize, or compare direct you to think about your topic in a certain way. Also pay attention to words such as how, what, when, where, and why; these words guide your attention toward specific information. (See the section in this handout titled “Key Terms” for more information.)

“Analyze the effect that gerbils had on the Russian Revolution”, or “Suggest an interpretation of housefly undergarments that differs from Darwin’s.”

Additional Material to Think about

Here you will find some questions to use as springboards as you begin to think about the topic. Instructors usually include these questions as suggestions rather than requirements. Do not feel compelled to answer every question unless the instructor asks you to do so. Pay attention to the order of the questions. Sometimes they suggest the thinking process your instructor imagines you will need to follow to begin thinking about the topic.

“You may wish to consider the differing views held by Communist gerbils vs. Monarchist gerbils, or Can there be such a thing as ‘the housefly garment industry’ or is it just a home-based craft?”

These are the instructor’s comments about writing expectations:

“Be concise”, “Write effectively”, or “Argue furiously.”

Technical Details

These instructions usually indicate format rules or guidelines.

“Your paper must be typed in Palatino font on gray paper and must not exceed 600 pages. It is due on the anniversary of Mao Tse-tung’s death.”

The assignment’s parts may not appear in exactly this order, and each part may be very long or really short. Nonetheless, being aware of this standard pattern can help you understand what your instructor wants you to do.

Interpreting the assignment

Ask yourself a few basic questions as you read and jot down the answers on the assignment sheet:

Why did your instructor ask you to do this particular task?

Who is your audience.

• What kind of evidence do you need to support your ideas?

What kind of writing style is acceptable?

• What are the absolute rules of the paper?

Try to look at the question from the point of view of the instructor. Recognize that your instructor has a reason for giving you this assignment and for giving it to you at a particular point in the semester. In every assignment, the instructor has a challenge for you. This challenge could be anything from demonstrating an ability to think clearly to demonstrating an ability to use the library. See the assignment not as a vague suggestion of what to do but as an opportunity to show that you can handle the course material as directed. Paper assignments give you more than a topic to discuss—they ask you to do something with the topic. Keep reminding yourself of that. Be careful to avoid the other extreme as well: do not read more into the assignment than what is there.

Of course, your instructor has given you an assignment so that they will be able to assess your understanding of the course material and give you an appropriate grade. But there is more to it than that. Your instructor has tried to design a learning experience of some kind. Your instructor wants you to think about something in a particular way for a particular reason. If you read the course description at the beginning of your syllabus, review the assigned readings, and consider the assignment itself, you may begin to see the plan, purpose, or approach to the subject matter that your instructor has created for you. If you still aren’t sure of the assignment’s goals, try asking the instructor. For help with this, see our handout on getting feedback .

Given your instructor’s efforts, it helps to answer the question: What is my purpose in completing this assignment? Is it to gather research from a variety of outside sources and present a coherent picture? Is it to take material I have been learning in class and apply it to a new situation? Is it to prove a point one way or another? Key words from the assignment can help you figure this out. Look for key terms in the form of active verbs that tell you what to do.

Key Terms: Finding Those Active Verbs

Here are some common key words and definitions to help you think about assignment terms:

Information words Ask you to demonstrate what you know about the subject, such as who, what, when, where, how, and why.

• define —give the subject’s meaning (according to someone or something). Sometimes you have to give more than one view on the subject’s meaning
• describe —provide details about the subject by answering question words (such as who, what, when, where, how, and why); you might also give details related to the five senses (what you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell)
• explain —give reasons why or examples of how something happened
• illustrate —give descriptive examples of the subject and show how each is connected with the subject
• summarize —briefly list the important ideas you learned about the subject
• trace —outline how something has changed or developed from an earlier time to its current form
• research —gather material from outside sources about the subject, often with the implication or requirement that you will analyze what you have found

Relation words Ask you to demonstrate how things are connected.

• compare —show how two or more things are similar (and, sometimes, different)
• contrast —show how two or more things are dissimilar
• apply—use details that you’ve been given to demonstrate how an idea, theory, or concept works in a particular situation
• cause —show how one event or series of events made something else happen
• relate —show or describe the connections between things

Interpretation words Ask you to defend ideas of your own about the subject. Do not see these words as requesting opinion alone (unless the assignment specifically says so), but as requiring opinion that is supported by concrete evidence. Remember examples, principles, definitions, or concepts from class or research and use them in your interpretation.

• assess —summarize your opinion of the subject and measure it against something
• prove, justify —give reasons or examples to demonstrate how or why something is the truth
• evaluate, respond —state your opinion of the subject as good, bad, or some combination of the two, with examples and reasons
• support —give reasons or evidence for something you believe (be sure to state clearly what it is that you believe)
• synthesize —put two or more things together that have not been put together in class or in your readings before; do not just summarize one and then the other and say that they are similar or different—you must provide a reason for putting them together that runs all the way through the paper
• analyze —determine how individual parts create or relate to the whole, figure out how something works, what it might mean, or why it is important
• argue —take a side and defend it with evidence against the other side

More Clues to Your Purpose As you read the assignment, think about what the teacher does in class:

• What kinds of textbooks or coursepack did your instructor choose for the course—ones that provide background information, explain theories or perspectives, or argue a point of view?
• In lecture, does your instructor ask your opinion, try to prove their point of view, or use keywords that show up again in the assignment?
• What kinds of assignments are typical in this discipline? Social science classes often expect more research. Humanities classes thrive on interpretation and analysis.
• How do the assignments, readings, and lectures work together in the course? Instructors spend time designing courses, sometimes even arguing with their peers about the most effective course materials. Figuring out the overall design to the course will help you understand what each assignment is meant to achieve.

Now, what about your reader? Most undergraduates think of their audience as the instructor. True, your instructor is a good person to keep in mind as you write. But for the purposes of a good paper, think of your audience as someone like your roommate: smart enough to understand a clear, logical argument, but not someone who already knows exactly what is going on in your particular paper. Remember, even if the instructor knows everything there is to know about your paper topic, they still have to read your paper and assess your understanding. In other words, teach the material to your reader.

Aiming a paper at your audience happens in two ways: you make decisions about the tone and the level of information you want to convey.

• Tone means the “voice” of your paper. Should you be chatty, formal, or objective? Usually you will find some happy medium—you do not want to alienate your reader by sounding condescending or superior, but you do not want to, um, like, totally wig on the man, you know? Eschew ostentatious erudition: some students think the way to sound academic is to use big words. Be careful—you can sound ridiculous, especially if you use the wrong big words.
• The level of information you use depends on who you think your audience is. If you imagine your audience as your instructor and they already know everything you have to say, you may find yourself leaving out key information that can cause your argument to be unconvincing and illogical. But you do not have to explain every single word or issue. If you are telling your roommate what happened on your favorite science fiction TV show last night, you do not say, “First a dark-haired white man of average height, wearing a suit and carrying a flashlight, walked into the room. Then a purple alien with fifteen arms and at least three eyes turned around. Then the man smiled slightly. In the background, you could hear a clock ticking. The room was fairly dark and had at least two windows that I saw.” You also do not say, “This guy found some aliens. The end.” Find some balance of useful details that support your main point.

You’ll find a much more detailed discussion of these concepts in our handout on audience .

The Grim Truth

With a few exceptions (including some lab and ethnography reports), you are probably being asked to make an argument. You must convince your audience. It is easy to forget this aim when you are researching and writing; as you become involved in your subject matter, you may become enmeshed in the details and focus on learning or simply telling the information you have found. You need to do more than just repeat what you have read. Your writing should have a point, and you should be able to say it in a sentence. Sometimes instructors call this sentence a “thesis” or a “claim.”

So, if your instructor tells you to write about some aspect of oral hygiene, you do not want to just list: “First, you brush your teeth with a soft brush and some peanut butter. Then, you floss with unwaxed, bologna-flavored string. Finally, gargle with bourbon.” Instead, you could say, “Of all the oral cleaning methods, sandblasting removes the most plaque. Therefore it should be recommended by the American Dental Association.” Or, “From an aesthetic perspective, moldy teeth can be quite charming. However, their joys are short-lived.”

Convincing the reader of your argument is the goal of academic writing. It doesn’t have to say “argument” anywhere in the assignment for you to need one. Look at the assignment and think about what kind of argument you could make about it instead of just seeing it as a checklist of information you have to present. For help with understanding the role of argument in academic writing, see our handout on argument .

What kind of evidence do you need?

There are many kinds of evidence, and what type of evidence will work for your assignment can depend on several factors–the discipline, the parameters of the assignment, and your instructor’s preference. Should you use statistics? Historical examples? Do you need to conduct your own experiment? Can you rely on personal experience? See our handout on evidence for suggestions on how to use evidence appropriately.

Make sure you are clear about this part of the assignment, because your use of evidence will be crucial in writing a successful paper. You are not just learning how to argue; you are learning how to argue with specific types of materials and ideas. Ask your instructor what counts as acceptable evidence. You can also ask a librarian for help. No matter what kind of evidence you use, be sure to cite it correctly—see the UNC Libraries citation tutorial .

You cannot always tell from the assignment just what sort of writing style your instructor expects. The instructor may be really laid back in class but still expect you to sound formal in writing. Or the instructor may be fairly formal in class and ask you to write a reflection paper where you need to use “I” and speak from your own experience.

Try to avoid false associations of a particular field with a style (“art historians like wacky creativity,” or “political scientists are boring and just give facts”) and look instead to the types of readings you have been given in class. No one expects you to write like Plato—just use the readings as a guide for what is standard or preferable to your instructor. When in doubt, ask your instructor about the level of formality they expect.

No matter what field you are writing for or what facts you are including, if you do not write so that your reader can understand your main idea, you have wasted your time. So make clarity your main goal. For specific help with style, see our handout on style .

Technical details about the assignment

The technical information you are given in an assignment always seems like the easy part. This section can actually give you lots of little hints about approaching the task. Find out if elements such as page length and citation format (see the UNC Libraries citation tutorial ) are negotiable. Some professors do not have strong preferences as long as you are consistent and fully answer the assignment. Some professors are very specific and will deduct big points for deviations.

Usually, the page length tells you something important: The instructor thinks the size of the paper is appropriate to the assignment’s parameters. In plain English, your instructor is telling you how many pages it should take for you to answer the question as fully as you are expected to. So if an assignment is two pages long, you cannot pad your paper with examples or reword your main idea several times. Hit your one point early, defend it with the clearest example, and finish quickly. If an assignment is ten pages long, you can be more complex in your main points and examples—and if you can only produce five pages for that assignment, you need to see someone for help—as soon as possible.

Tricks that don’t work

Your instructors are not fooled when you:

• spend more time on the cover page than the essay —graphics, cool binders, and cute titles are no replacement for a well-written paper.
• use huge fonts, wide margins, or extra spacing to pad the page length —these tricks are immediately obvious to the eye. Most instructors use the same word processor you do. They know what’s possible. Such tactics are especially damning when the instructor has a stack of 60 papers to grade and yours is the only one that low-flying airplane pilots could read.
• use a paper from another class that covered “sort of similar” material . Again, the instructor has a particular task for you to fulfill in the assignment that usually relates to course material and lectures. Your other paper may not cover this material, and turning in the same paper for more than one course may constitute an Honor Code violation . Ask the instructor—it can’t hurt.
• get all wacky and “creative” before you answer the question . Showing that you are able to think beyond the boundaries of a simple assignment can be good, but you must do what the assignment calls for first. Again, check with your instructor. A humorous tone can be refreshing for someone grading a stack of papers, but it will not get you a good grade if you have not fulfilled the task.

Critical reading of assignments leads to skills in other types of reading and writing. If you get good at figuring out what the real goals of assignments are, you are going to be better at understanding the goals of all of your classes and fields of study.

28+ Best Free Assignment Cover Page Formats for MS Word

What is an assignment cover page, key elements for a comprehensive front page.

• Institution Details: Begin by prominently featuring the name of your school, college, or institute. This establishes credibility and provides context for your assignment.
• Personal Information: Include your own name to indicate authorship and ownership of the assignment. This adds a personal touch and facilitates easy identification.
• Assignment Title: Clearly state the title of your assignment, conveying its purpose and focus. A concise and informative title sets the tone for your work.
• Course Information: Specify the relevant course title or code to indicate the academic context in which your assignment was completed. This assists in proper categorization and organization.

What are the basic tips?

• Font style : It is always in the best interest to use bold, simple, and clear text instead of using fancy text fonts and styles. This helps the reader understand things in a better way.  Moreover, the usage of pictures behind texts must be avoided as it creates poor visibility for the reader when reading the text printed on it.
• Presentation: Presentation plays an important role in expressing what you need to convey to someone and how you need to communicate it. Presenting the title page in the most effective manner is essential as this leaves an impression on the teacher reading the assignment. It also acts as a decisive tool for the teacher whether or not he/ she interestingly goes through the whole document.
• Spell Check: Before handing over the assignment, one should take a brief review of all the spelling and also look for any grammatical errors.
• Avoid plagiarism: A student must always be honest in what he writes. He should avoid copying material or texts from anywhere.
• Personal detail: One should never forget to mention his/her name. The font size used for writing the name must be bigger so that it makes the name visible to the teacher.

Advantages of an Impressive Assignment Cover Page

• Showcasing Professionalism: By meticulously designing your cover page, you demonstrate a strong commitment to professionalism. This attention to detail reflects positively on your work ethic and sets you apart as a dedicated student.
• Creating a Positive Impression: A well-crafted front page sets the tone for your assignment, capturing the attention of your teacher or professor. It establishes a positive first impression, arousing their interest and encouraging them to delve further into your work.
• Enhancing Visual Appeal: A visually appealing cover page enhances the overall presentation of your assignment. With carefully chosen fonts, colors, and layouts, you create an engaging and aesthetically pleasing introduction that captivates the reader’s attention.
• Communicating Pertinent Information: It provides a concise summary of essential details, such as the assignment title, your name, and the due date. This ensures clarity and facilitates seamless identification and organization of your work.
• Reflecting a Professional Attitude: By dedicating time and effort to creating an impressive cover page, you exemplify a professional attitude towards your academic pursuits. This level of dedication and care leaves a lasting impression on your teacher or professor.

Tips for Maximizing the Impact: Make Your Cover Page Stand Out

• Choose Colors Wisely: Select colors that complement your assignment’s theme and evoke the desired emotions. Vibrant colors can grab attention, while muted tones create a sense of elegance. Maintain consistency with your assignment’s overall design and avoid using too many colors that may distract from the main message.
• Opt for Legible Fonts: Use clear and readable fonts to enhance the accessibility and professionalism of your cover page. Avoid overly decorative or complex fonts that may hinder readability. Opt for fonts that align with your assignment’s tone and maintain consistency throughout the document.
• Incorporate Relevant Graphics: Graphics can enhance the visual appeal of your cover page and reinforce the assignment’s subject matter. Choose images or icons that are directly related to the topic or convey the assignment’s main concept. Ensure that the graphics are high-quality and appropriately sized to maintain clarity.
• Organize Information Effectively: Arrange the information in a logical and visually appealing manner. Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points to break down content and make it easier to read. Highlight key details such as the assignment title, your name, course information, and submission date.
• Maintain Simplicity: While it’s important to make it visually appealing, avoid cluttering it with excessive elements. Keep the design clean and uncluttered, allowing the key information to stand out. Remember, simplicity often has a greater impact than complexity.
• Preview and Proofread: Before finalizing, preview it to ensure that all elements are properly aligned and visually balanced. Proofread the content to eliminate any spelling or grammatical errors. A polished and error-free cover demonstrates your attention to detail and professionalism.

Assignments.

The assignments in this course are openly licensed, and are available as-is, or can be modified to suit your students’ needs.

If you import this course into your learning management system (Blackboard, Canvas, etc.), the assignments will automatically be loaded into the assignment tool. These assignments and quizzes come pre-loaded with specific assigned point values. We recommend changing the point values to match your course design .

This course includes a series of assignments associated with most modules, as well as essay assignments that can be included in the course as you see fit. Some instructors assign multiple rhetorical styles, while others scaffold just one or two large essays throughout the course. For this reason, the essay assignments are listed at the front of the course and can be easily moved into the appropriate places within the LMS. The different rhetorical style essays are each split into at least two parts, with one for prewriting and one for the final draft.  They could also be combined into one assignment or split into several smaller assignments; for example, you could divide each essay into a prewriting, drafting, and final draft stage (which is how the argument essay is currently organized).

The “Writing Process—Revising and Proofreading” module also includes a discussion assignment that has students peer review whichever essay is assigned during that module ( Discussion: CARES Peer Review).

• Narrative Essay
• Compare/Contrast
• Illustration Essay
• Cause and Effect Essay
• Argument Essay

The optional “Essay Reflection” Assignment can also be paired with any of the rhetorical style essays listed above.

The assignments can also be broken down into smaller steps or combined/simplified as desired. Remember, these can be deleted, modified, or replaced within your LMS to meet the needs of your students.
