As you know, Mr. Clare is very busy dealing with Ofsted, so I will see what I can do. However, before I can help you, can you tell me what question you have been set, or what you have been told to study? The English Civil War is a big subject and I don't want to send you off in the wrong direction.

as i have stated before im doing im doing an important essay (decides my level). but i need to know a lot. Our L.O was to investigate the causes of the civil war. It needs to be very very detailed. And can you include an essay template or something on how to structure you essay specifically for this topic.

thank you ever so much,
P.s i really do understand that you are busy but can you put the effort in to answer as soon as possile thank u,

hree good sites as far as you are concerned:
1. This is the best for what you want.
2. The HistoryLearning site is always good for a basic explanation.
3. And this site has a very useful grid of possible causes (some more important than others).

A causation essay is the easiest to write.

Analyse your researched causes into a number (5 or 6) of causes.
Take a paragraph for each cause.
Use simple discourse maekers to start each paragarph (the first cause, the next cause)
Then PEEL every paragraph:
- Put the point simply (topic sentence)
- Evidence which supports your assertion
- Explain 'from the thread to the needle' HOW this cause actually helped to lead to the outbreak of fighting.
- Link - add a link sentence linking what you are writing about to the next sentence.

Finish with a paragraph talking about what other historians have considered the most important cause(s), and explaining which YOU feel is the most important.

This essay structure for a causation essay won't change substantially, even when you go to university.

Thank you ever so much sir but could I ask one more thing of you?
could you give an example of a paragraphh about this topic with the things you have mentioned to make a successful essay including the PEEL.

Thank you,

[MrJohnDClare]

No - I won't go that far, because it would be too much help - it's be like cheating your classmates.

But I can give you a frame for the paragraph:

The <first> cause of the civil war I am going to look at is...
The facts about this are...
This helped to cause the Civil War by...
This then linked to me next cause -- the... -- because...
