Hi there,

I'm going back to take one of my as politics exams this year after having two years out due to illness, and I'm a bit out of touch with essay structure for questions such as:

'to what extent...' - for instance, would I have a paragraph with a point for the question and then a counter point and carry on this way, or would I have 2 paragraphs for, a linking sentence and then 2 paragraphs against?


Any help or other essay tips would be great - I'm only taking unit 1 on edexcel and I'm steering clear of political parties!


Cheers,

Alex

Both ways you've said would be absolutely fine. It's probably easier for you to follow your argument if you separate the two though so you start for then against. It's good to provide the counter arguments then explain why they can be disagreed with throughout though
With everything, link it back to the question, so eg. if it's a question on power explain how each point you make relates to the question.
In your introduction break down the question and how you're going to interpret it, then in your conclusion answer the question and explain why you've chosen that view point - personal opinion is good!
good luck!
