Not enough information is given.  what is your stance?  IS ot a DBQ [Document Based Question]?  Or a FRQ [Free Response Question]?  What does the prompt specifically ask for?  Teh information given is WAY to broud.  Also, don't ask for a thesis and then use the exact one someone might give you.  Turnitin.com might catch you.  That would be bad.

It would help to know a topic.  Do you have to write on something specific, or anything you like?  Give us more details.  keep in mind that when writing an editorial, you are giving your opinion and you may be surprised/hurt when you get a negative response.

The French are very strict on the structure of their essays and dissertations. They follow a two part plan.Here is a copy of instructions I was given at uni on how to construct a good essay (it's in french)\n\nMéthode de la dissertation\nAnalysez précisément le sujet et définissez en les termes pour cerner le sujet réellement posé \nNe commencez pas par rédiger l'introduction. \nFaites un plan construit avant de rédiger ; relisez-le et vérifiez-en la cohérence. Soignez les intitulés de chacun de vos titres : évitez les verbes conjugués ; vos titres doivent faire comprendre les idées que vous allez développer. Soignez l'expression et l'orthographe ; maniez les concepts juridiques avec prudence. \nUtilisez vos connaissances. Soyez concis et évitez les banalités. \nQuand vous citez les auteurs écrivez convenablement leur nom. \nResserrer bien le sujet et répondez à la question posée pour éviter le hors sujet\n1 - Bien lire le sujet \nUne réflexion sur les termes du sujet s'impose. Ne commencez pas votre dissertation sans avoir circonscrit le sujet et discerné ses implications principales. \nSeule une bonne compréhension du sujet vous permettra d'être pertinent dans la suite de votre travail.\n2 - L'inventaire\nIl faut inventorier les différentes questions entrant dans le sujet. \nEffectuez ensuite un tri en confrontant à nouveau vos questions à votre sujet. \nCet inventaire sera le matériau qui vous servira à construire votre plan. \nUne fois que votre inventaire semble achevé, il est temps de regrouper vos idées et de chercher à les organiser sous forme d'un plan. \nUn bon plan sera celui qui saura intégrer l'essentiel des points importants de votre inventaire ; en effet au cours de votre inventaire certains points qui vous semblaient à première vue important ne le serons plus. \nVous allez vous rendre compte que parfois vous avez exprimé la même chose sous deux formes différentes (ici joue l'opération intellectuelle du regroupement ; ceci vous évitera les répétions au sein du plan). \nA la fin de votre inventaire il vous faudra en général : Regrouper ; Eliminer ; Organiser. \n\nN.B. : lors de la phase d'inventaire ce sont les connaissances que vous avez acquises qui vous servent. Un mauvais inventaire (c'est-à-dire incomplet) entraîne une mauvaise dissertation. D'où la nécessité de connaître son cours et d'avoir étudier les documents de travaux dirigés. \n3 - Le plan Il vous faut organiser au brouillon votre plan et le structurer. \nLa formulation des titres est très importante. \nVos titres ne doivent pas être des phrases. \nVos titres doivent être : \nconcis; \nconformes à ce que vous allez développer dans vos différentes parties ou sous-parties\ncompréhensibles ; \nécrits en français (cf. problème d'expression).\nToujours au brouillon inscrivez les titres et rédigez les chapeaux \n1 - Votre titre Chapeau : expliquez ce que vous allez développer dans votre A et dans votre B. A - Votre titre Chapeau : expliquez ce que vous allez développer dans les différentes sous-parties \n1 - Votre titre \na - b - c - etc.… \nB - Votre titre \netc.… \nNe pas négliger les chapeaux ainsi que les transitions \nUne fois votre plan déterminé, le relire en vous posant les questions suivantes \nMon plan est-il adapté au sujet ? \nAi-je bien traité l'ensemble du sujet ? \nAi-je bien répondu à la question ? \nMon plan est-il équilibré, cohérent et harmonieux ?\nMon plan ne comporte-t-il pas de répétitions comme par exemple: " Le B du Il ne reprend-il pas une partie du développement contenu dans le 1 du A du I " ? \nMon plan est-il complet et n'ai-je pas laisser échapper un grand problème à étudier ? \nAi-je inséré des exemples ? (un exemple judicieux est parfois plus parlant qu'une longue explication). \nCes questions sont à se poser tout au long de la confection du plan et doiv

read a lot of books written in the style you want to write in. Write short pieces at first and submit them to several publishing houses. They're always on the lookout for novel (pardon the pun) talent so don't take their criticism personally, it's constructive and you should use it to improve your style

PRE-PLAN your speech.\nDecide which aspect(s) of character are most important. (Honesty, courage, responsibility, leadership, loyalty, duty, respect, attitude, perseverance, my personal favorite... integrity...?) Using the trait(s) you selected, come up with a thesis statement. Your speech should center around this idea. Brainstorm at least three to five specific examples to support your statement. These may include any of the following:\nexamples from history, literature, or current events\nthe information you are given on the test\nexamples from your own personal experience\nDecide on your three strongest examples. These should be the ones you can explain in the most specific detail. In general, examples from your personal experience are easier to write about, but they are weaker in the eyes of the reader.\n\nWRITE your speech.\nStart with an introduction. Your introduction should explain what you're going to talk about in your speech, but DON'T say something like, "This speech is about..." or, "I'm going to tell you about..." Assume your audience is smart enough to figure this out. Your introduction should include some kind of HOOK--something to catch the reader's attention. There are many types of hooks. Try a question, a quotation, a definition, a statistic, a single word, an action, a description, or an unusual statement. The goal is to get your audience interested and to get them thinking.\nNext is the body of your speech. This is where you take those three strongest examples you brainstormed during your planning. Start with one you can explain very clearly.\nUse transitions in each of these paragraphs. Develop these paragraphs thoroughly. Keep the writing focused. Don't ever lose sight of your thesis statement! Everything in a paragraph should be connected, and it should all make sense together.\nGive lots of details. Poor example: "Integrity is a good quality for a person to have because it makes you a good person." Good example: "Integrity is a vital quality which allows a person to make decisions based on his or her understanding of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong.'" Poor example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., had lots of integrity because he was a good guy." Good example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., is a paradigm of integrity because he understood the importance of equality. He took it so seriously that he fought for equality, traveling around the country and speaking to innumerable people."\nUse strong words. Try to use words that will not make you sound intelligent, not supercilious.\nWrap up your speech with a competent conclusion. Watch out for these common mistakes:\nDON'T say the exact same thing you've said already.\nDON'T say something like, "Now you know about..." or, "I have just told you about..." And NEVER say "I hope you enjoyed listening to my speech!"\nUse a simple form in your conclusion. Restate your main thesis (in different words). You may want to generalize a little bit. Look for a common theme in all your examples which you can apply. You can end with another hook, if it seems appropriate.\nRemember, your conclusion is the LAST thing your audience will hear. It doesn't have to be pure genius, but it should leave a good last impression.\n\nREVIEW your speech.\nMake sure it makes sense. Check for grammatical errors; in particular, watch for sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Have a friend, family member, or teacher read it. Practice it several times by yourself and in front of a few people. Get some good feedback.\n\nGood luck! Feel free to contact me with specific questions.

Know your subject well, and do your research. Use good mechanics. Make certain that your paper is easily read by others. Also, make sure you don't make any "leaps" in the paper; let it flow. Check spelling, grammar, punctuation.

Sketch an outline, like three lines, one for each body paragraph.  They should be logically laid out, as in one thing should lead to the next. If you know the points you want to hit, you can write your paragraphs with a sensible direction and your transitions will be smoother because you know what you want to talk about next.  \n\nGood luck!

CORRECTIONS FOLLOW.  Look carefully, as some of them are easily missed (such as the colon after the salutation).  Corrected format, syntax, clarity, paragraphs, etc.  Good luck.\n\nDear So and So:\n\nI am writing this letter on the behalf of my Legacy for the Art Studio class. \n\nOur project consists of a storyboard/framed pictorial that focuses on a comedic story about about a man -- my father, in fact -- who does not know how to speak English, and what happens when he tries to buy chickens at KFC. \n\nThe artwork will contain multiple pen and pencil sketches on standard leter-sized white paper. I would like the artwork to be hung in suitable location at eye-level on the second or third floor. Please note that the contents (i.e., story, size, medium, etc.) of the artwork can be changed if necessary, however, due to the nature of this project, that could impose an unrealistic deadline on the project. \n\nPlease let me know if you require any further information or if I may be of assistance.\n\nSincerely yours,\n\nFalennixonx

you should write about mob mentality, how people do things they know are wrong or that they disagree with just because everyone else does it.  or something about following tradition despite moral or religious objection.

Write about what you know.  If you've never been to France and don't know anything about it, I don't suggest you write about a French schoolgirl living in Paris (just a rondom example).  If you're from a small town, write about someone around your age (or younger) that lives in a small town similar to yours.  If you live in a city, do the same thing, but have it set in a city.  If you like to travel and have traveled a lot in your life, write about someone from somewhere you've been or who likes to travel.\n\nGood luck and hope this helps.

The first step is to decide what your subject is about. Then you need to determine your purpose and audience. Your purpose may be writing to inform, persuade, compare and contrast, entertain, etc. When you decided your purpose, you then tailor it to your audience. These are two very important aspects for writing. They help to govern what will and will not be included in your essay. \n\nThe next step is to pre-write. I like doing two or three different kinds, depending on what I'm doing. Brainstorm for ideas, list, create a venn diagram, develop an outline (usually a later step, to help organize), develop a web diagram, talk into a tape recorder. Do what ever you need to start your paper. \n\nThe Second pre-writing stage, should be some sort of organization. You do not have to stay to this organization. Instead its used to guide you as you write your paper.\n\nThird, start drafting. Don't worry about mistakes. Those will be taken care of later. Jut get your thoughts down. My suggestions is to write on paper, every other line (this helps with revisions), unless you absoulutley cannot write without the computer. There is no one area you have to start with. You can start with the body paragraphs, and then join them later with the intro and conclusion, or you can start with the intro, and work your way down. As you write your paper, remeber you need to support it well. Think of it as an elephant. If an elephant has 0-2 legs, it will not stand. Three legs will allow it remain standing, but will still be a little wobley. However, four legs gives it perfect balance. \n\nDo not put in to much information, as your paragraphs may be come crowded with details. Instead, if it looks like you may have seval ideas that branch off and flow, then you might have several paragraphs in one. \n\nThe fourth step is to revise. This does not include grammatical, punctuation, or spelling. Those will be taken care of at a later time. Instead, concentrate on the major issues. There is a good acronym to help you remember what to do here: ARMS-Add, Remove, Move, or Start all over. Look at your paper and decide if you need to add information, remove it, move sentences to another location, or if you need to start all over again. Do not be afraid to start all over. Sometimes, are first efforts do not do the job. So instead, we need to rewrite. If you wrote it out on every other line, you will be able to add your revisions in the spaces not written. Make sure to use a different colored ink or pencil, to help you find the changes. Also, use highlighters, to color code your changes, if your a very visual person. If possible, have others make comments over your paper. \n\nThe final step is to edit. Once you have rewritten your paper, you need to then start looking for the minor mistakes, that prevent your paper from flowing smoothly. If you want, you can type it on the computer. There are many programs that will help with editting, if you are not sure about what to correct.  \n\nGood luck
