I have a really good Modern Studies teacher who has a website full of examples to use. I will send you a link, hopefully it will help you.
Okay, well when you do an essay, our teacher says you have to use SEEC:
S----- this stands for STATEMENT. Make a statement at the very start of your paragraph. Here is an example: In the USA, many inequalities exist, and Blacks are the worst hit.
E----- this stands for EXPLANATION. explain what you have just said.
E---- This is EVIDENCE. This is where you introduce a statistic.
C---- Do a sub conclusion linking to the question you were given.
Here is a rough example of a paragraph on the president's powers essay:
S: As president, one of most crucial roles he must undertake is that of Chief of the Armed forces.
E: The president manages both the placement and quantity of troops in war.
E:By August 2010, Obama reduced the number of troops in Iraq to 50,000 from 140,000.
C: This highlights his control, especially since he had the power to overrule and ignore the generals.
Hope i helped somewhat :*
