To write college essays, the student must think, plan, revise, peer-edit, revise, proofread, and format the drafts, according to MLA or APA to the publication rubrics.
Organization of a college essay is predicated on planning the overall archetectural essay, based on Aristotle's axiom: Purpose, Audience, Narrowed Thesis or main idea, and point of significance, substantiated through logic (logos), ethical values, integrity, or good faith, (ethos), and pathos.
Evience demonstrates "Tecne" or the Art of Rhetoric:
Focus on the main idea. The thesis shows consistency or critical thinking skills, logical follow-through of planning the 7 paragraph structure, and completion of brain-storming activities, including multiple editing with a group of proofresders, making suggested revisions, and research with peer editors.
The final step is to check for facts instead of rumor, hearsay, or fallacy.
