A Little Help With and English Essay!?

Question

I'm writing an essay for my grade 10 english class, and I need some help with the wording of the question. Even though I don't need help with the topic, I'm going to give most of the questions as to not lead to confusion. The question starts with, "To what extent should science be critizized and/or appreciated for the roles it plays/effects it has on events, charactars, communities ect. as featured in (Texts we've read in class )

I don't perfectly understand how to start an essay/ how to answer the question "to what extent" Any help is appreciated, if my question doesn't even make sense therefore cannot be answered, then sorry and thank you for you effort anyways : )

Answer 1

essays basically have 3 major parts: Introduction, body, summary.

There are a variety of ways on how to start an essay; and in your case, i believe your starting with a question. i think it would be best to keep the question as simple as possible and expound your idea in your essay; like simply writing "When should science be criticized?" because science, as we know it, is appreciated and plays a great role in almost everything. so the idea is implied. Or was that question given to you?

Then put your views about science in a cohesive manner in the body of your essay. put all the the neutral roles first, followed by pros/benefits/gains, then lastly, cons/loss/negatives. always starting with the bigger picture and ending to more trivial matter. or trivial matter to the bigger picture if you want something to be realized. it is also best if you will include real life examples

then end with a summary that basically sums up the all your idea and answering your question.

i hope this helps!

Science is progress in many cases. In those cases that science discovers something or proves something or invents something that benefits or harms mankind, its effect upon events, people and the world can be substantial.

For example, it is still argued if the invention of the atom bomb and its subsequent use on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was a good thing or a bad thing. In either case, this one invention has definitely affected mankind and the world.
Statistics could show the deaths and physical damage, but no one can really assess the long term effects of nuclear power, as it is still in progress.

The invention of the Polio vaccine by Jonas Salk in 1953 saved 100's of thousands of lives, and this also impacted the world. To what extent? Again that cannot be exactly stated. But it was a huge thing!

Answer 3

After reading the texts and weighing your position on the + - effects. State your opening statement or thesis in a paragraph or precis.

Then deal with each point in a separate paragraph, using references to the material, making sure your points are logical and true to the source.

Finally restate your thesis in a summation paragraph, with an encapsulation of your prior points and (this can be risky if your analysis is weak) end with a substantiated zinger to emphasize your analysis. Make sure you REFERENCE the MATERIAL, don't go out on a limb on your own ramblings.

This next advice may not be pure, but it will earn you better marks especially when in college. Find out your prof, teacher or tutors position and write towards it. It is academic sucking up, but it works. If you Prof has written any works, work their ideas into your essay. (Such is the state of free thought in modern academia)

See Buddy many students' first exposure to the genre is the five paragraph essay, a highly structured form requiring an introduction presenting the thesis statement; three body paragraphs, each of which presents an idea to support the thesis together with supporting evidence and quotations; and a conclusion, which restates the thesis and summarizes the supporting points. The use of this format is controversial. Proponents argue that it teaches students how to organize their thoughts clearly in writing; opponents characterize its structure as rigid and repetitive
