Guidelines for essay writing
·    Headings and subheadings should be used to define structure within each major section.
·    choose ONE research question and provide an overview of the research that has occurred since 2008.  Your writing should be carefully considered and be persuasive in nature.  You will need to support your writing with evidence taken from the literature.  A useful method is to look for which authors from the relevant chapter of the text are most commonly cited and find their recent publications.
