N
ow that you have a tentative thesis, you may be tempted to jump right in and start drafting. Some-
times, this approach works, especially if you’ve done a lot of brainstorming, have thought care-
fully about your assignment, and your writing skills are strong. More often, however, a great essay
is the product not only of brainstorming, but of organization as well.
