one by one with each question as a headline, or whether I should just write one continuous text answering all the questions.
I like using headlines (i.e. headings and subheadings). I wish all teachers allowed it, but some say you should not use subheadings. They are useful, though! They succinctly express an idea in a way that is easy to remember.
Anyway, you can use them or not, depending on if the prof says it's okay.
But for the essay, do this:
5 paragraph essay -- intro, 3 body paragraphs, and conclusion paragraph. That's five.
- End the first paragraph with your most important observation about what happened (i.e. thesis statement).
- Begin each body paragraph with a TOPIC SENTENCE that answers one of the three questions.
- After three body paragraphs, write a conclusion that talks about the thesis statement again.
