Eduqas A Level Geog: Tectonics 38 markers hELP

dpksrk2015

Does anybody have an example good essay for this topic or good advice even??? I have tried SO hard to get a good mark on tectonics essays but just can't seem to get the marks I want. I'm finding it difficult to structure my essays themselves and as a result, I'm not choosing the right content to put in it. I've spoken to my teacher about it and she advises PEE/PEA but I have never written an essay using that because I'm not comfortable with it as I think that it ruins the flow of my essay. I have done well in a couple of essays when I've written the essay using no structure - however, they weren't timed. Any advice is much appreciated!! Xx

Introduce ur para answering the q using its wording, so if the q asks to what extent then you'd start your paragraph with something like
