If you want and if there is time I can show the rest of the class the chart you can use to plan out any essay in which you prove or talk about a certain point I learned about in the Specialized High Schools Institute. It is very simple yet very efficiant for planning out an essay this is how it looks:

I.Introduction
A.Thesis-Main idea, goals, and/or objectives.
B.Supporting Point #1
C.Supporting Point #2
D.Supporting Point #3
II.Body
A.Restate Point #1
1.Subpoint #1
2.Subpoint #2
3.Subpoint #3

B.Restate Point #2
1.Subpoint #1
2.Subpoint #2
3.Subpoint #3

C.Restate Point #3
1.Subpoint #1
2.Subpoint #2
3.Subpoint #3
III.Conclusion
A.Restate thesis
B.Restate Point #1
C.Restate Point #2
D.Restate Point #3
E.Concluding Statement

You may have more than three points and as many subpoints for each point that you have. You may even have one subpoint if you plan to expand on it a lot. Also note that your essay will include more especially if you expand on your ideas a lot but this is just a tool used to get your main thoughts planned out.
