What atr the correct stpes to write an essay

What I do when I write an essay:

First, do your research

Second, make sure that you are writing down, and taking notes of the stuff you need to write about

Third, make a draft of what you are supposed to write about

Fourth, cite your sources. Plagiarising is wrong, so, make sure you cite your sources

Fifth, rewrite your essay into a final draft.

Sixth, look for any spelling and punctuation errors.
