–Define a specific topic/question/perspective in relation to a particular text or texts (if you are comparing concepts).

–Avoid providing long summaries of the texts, and instead be as succinct as possible.

–Offer a close reading of the passages you are engaging through your question/concept/perspective.

–Avoid generalizations.

–Avoid declarative statements and unsubstantiated opinion: always provide an evidence to back up your claims.
