This silly Australian video

follows a student whose online search for essay writing tips results in her being transported like Alice-in-Internet-Land into a writing “how-to” website. Here she discovers that an essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure remains the same. [The video explores] the essay’s three main components – the introduction, the body, and the conclusion – our student guide next learns more about the structure and purpose of an essay’s paragraphs.
