Initial Points to Get Clear in Your Head

Avoid writing in the narrative. Yes it is true, Captain narrative is a bad creation, he is to be avoided at all costs.

• You need to provide an argument. This will give your answer a clear sense of direction.
• To create a concise and flowing answer you should present a relevant point, provide evidence and explanation of this point and then introduce the next relevant point.
• Think about the component parts of the question and break them down, e.g When did the princes become active in the reformation? What was their initial role? What were the effects? etc.

(There are a lot more points do not stop there!)

This will provide the main body of your answer.

In your conclusion you should evaluate the evidence and bring your overall argument to a clear point. Do not introduce new arguments or evidence in the conclusion.
