by Dany Will
1. ASSIGNMENT GOAL: Make choices about the structure and organization of your essay.
2. Include the details and ‘evidence’ that you will include in each paragraph or part of the essay and demonstrate how each paragraph supports the thesis/purpose statement.
2.1. POINT ONE: The perspective that the level of education provided to a country may benefit it economically due to education's overall effect on the population: producing a skilled work-force.
2.1.1. POINT TWO: The best way to portray the effects of education on a country's economy is to look at how the migration of its skilled work-force affects its economy since a skilled work-force is the physical product of good education.

3. Represent those choices by creating a plan of your essay in a way that makes sense for you (a diagram, for example) or by using the handout as a guide.
