These are the basics, because you can write a book about "How to Write and Essay."
1. Pick a topic that is not too broad. Don't write about Dogs, it's too broad. Pick a breed of dog, or type of dog like working dogs. Don't write about diseases. Pick one disease. Don't write about candy, write about the snickers bar. Don't write about Greek and Roman gods, write about Aries.
Never use "I" or "You" in the writing unless the essay is your opinion. Find other ways to say it. For example "If you pee a lot you may have diabetes." This should be "Many patients discover they have diabetes when they tell their doctor that they urinate often."
2. An essay usually has 5 paragraphs. The first one is the introduction. Talk a little about your topic in general; maybe state an interesting fact, and then the last sentence of your first paragraph is a thesis sentence. Your thesis should tell the 3 main points of your essay. For example: Although there is no cure for diabetes, it is easily diagnosed by its symptoms; it can be treated and prevented. The 3 points are: symptoms, treatments, and prevention.
3. After you have your introduction now you write a paragraph about each of your three points. In the same order that you put them in the thesis sentence. Make sure it's logical order, don't do treatments then symptoms.
4. Now write a conclusion paragraph. Make it a little like the introduction without repeating yourself. Mention all 3 points again, but they don't have to be in the right order or in the same sentence.
5. Proofread. Then Proofread AGAIN! Watch for commonly confused words that the spell check won't catch. Like wright and write, their and there.

Um...for what level? What I mean is, what grade are you in? The higher your grade level, the more complex it'll be. Make sure you spell and grammar check ('Wright' is spelled write. You know stuff like that). Always proof-read your work.
As for topics, for starters you should write about something easy. Maybe a type of flower? An animal?
When you write your essay make sure you list your source(s) of information. Make notes. Collect information from books or the internet (again, list the source(s). When you're using the internet, list the URL). Then translate all that information into your own words. Never copy. You can use footnotes if your teacher (or professor, etc., etc.) lets you but try not to do it too much.

An essay usually has 3 major parts: introduction, main body and a finishing paragraph. The main body can consist of several paragraphs.
As a start, you'll need a topic, it's true. e.g. 'My Room'
Then start collecting material - what you want to put in your essay - in your head or on little pieces of paper.
The next thing is to make a draught - only in short sentences or words like 'Size' or 'Walls' or 'Why I like it' etc
Then you can start writing a paragraph of each part of the draught.
Then you may decide where you put these paragraphs.
In the end you can write a short summary or conclusion.
And always re-read it to check spelling - don't let the computer do it for you, because it can be misleading.

Well the first place to start is to spell words correctly. Wright is not spelled that way. How do you write an essay? Sounds much better. Sometimes it is helpful to get some ideas from your library or use the computer.

I have always been under the impression that the word "write" appears so frequently in text that a misspell of it would be a deliberate act. Are you kidding us or have you never been exposed to the written word?
