5: Unit 6 Academic Essay

An academic essay is a piece of writing that focuses on a topic, an idea, or a theme with a predictable pattern based on researched evidence using academic language.

One of the effective ways to read and understand instructions and questions in a university setting is to use the BUG method.

 BUG stands for the action to:

1) Box all the instruction words in the question

2) Underline all the content words in the question

3) Glance back and see what are neither instruction nor content words.

Format of an academic essay;

1) Introduction 

 -Thesis statement.

2) Body Paragraph 

 -Topic Sentence.

3) Conclusion 

  -Restatement of the Thesis.
