      Structure
       Notion of a journey or a guided tour
       An introduction (the beginning)
       The body or middle (where you discuss the topic)
       Conclusion (the end of the journey)
       Bear in mind that the reader shouldn’t need to seek 
        clarification

      The diamond
       Godfrey uses the analogy of a diamond to describe the 
       structure of an essay
       Whatever points you start you have to finish (drawing 
       the threads together)
       Introduction has it’s own structure and is distinct from 
       the main body 
       The body of the essay approximately (80%) of the 
       overall word count
        Divided into paragraphs 
        Develops your argument into clear sections

      The introduction
       Sets the scene
       you explain what you are going to do in the essay
       interpret what is meant by the question
       outline the areas that you are going to cover
       give a brief outline of how you will deal with each issue and in 
        what order
       Think of it like a route map
       the introduction should be approximately a tenth of the 
        overall word count
