Philosophical Scepticism Essay Help

Hi, I could really do with some help on how to structure a 25 mark essay titled 'Are claims of philosophical scepticism true?'.

I plan on outlining Descartes' 3 waves of doubt, but I'm not sure what to do then. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Descartes' own response (intuition and deduction thesis)
evaluate his response

Locke & Russell's response
Evaluate their response

Berkeley OR reliabilism's response
evaluate their response

If you evaluate one of them as successful then scepticism = defeated.
