Follow the abcd structure for each of your individual paragraphs. A- answer the question, B- back it up with evidence, C- challenge, D- decide. So in your 30 marker you'd want to do maybe 3 or 4 of these abcd paragraphs not including your conclusion. As for an introduction, it's not really necessary but you can if you have time. Also don't stress if you don't have the structure down yet just try practicing writing as many essays as you can.

In my school we use PACE, which is point, analyse, counter/criticise then evaluate.

Then we have an optional choice to do another 3rd PACE paragraph or do a Hinge which is where we analyse the question basing it on the main word. For example, 'Ethical egoism always leads to immoral actions'. The hinge paragraph will be based on the word ALWAYS and you basically talk about how it is up to subjectivity and how it does not always lead to immoral actions and it just depends on who and how they use it. Also make synoptic links to philosophy and the other component.
