  1. understanding the precise task set by the title; 
  2.  identifying, appropriate material to read; 
  3.  understanding and evaluating that material; 
  4. selecting the most relevant material to refer to in your essay; 
  5. constructing an effective argument; and 
  6. arriving at a well-supported conclusion.
