Monica Said:

I'm writing a persuasive essay on spanking is/not effective form...I have no idea where to start?

We Answered:

I would begin by really examing your feeling on the topic. Were you or weren't you spanked. How did and do you feel about it? If yes, was it effective?

Then I would interview as many parents as you can and get their opinions. Teachers like to see you do your own research.

Lastly, check the literature/research. Explain what the current "scientific" recommendation is.

Hope this helps.

What is a better and more effective writing style for essays or any piece of writing?

We Answered:

Keeping the words, message, format and writing style as simple as possible. This is because people who actually read your essay want to actually understand what you are saying. Just because you use big complicated words that only people in Harvard can understand doesn't mean that it is a good essay. It wouldn't hurt if you use a couple of "impressive" vocabulary words.
