Two-part essays keep both answer lines from the thesis through the conclusion.

What to confirm before writing

Turn both questions into separate one-sentence answers, then assign one answer line to each body paragraph.

How to revise the next version

Rewrite the thesis and both topic sentences so they cover question 1 and question 2 in order, then verify the conclusion.

• Whether both questions have direct answers
• Whether body paragraphs map one-to-one to the questions
• Whether the thesis and conclusion both cover the questions

Build a two-question, two-answer, two-paragraph map

In your notes, reduce question 1 and question 2 to short labels on separate lines. Give each a direct one-sentence answer, then draft the matching body-paragraph topic sentence. The answers need not be equal in length, but both must be developable. If the second produces only an add-on such as “this is also important”, it has not been answered.

• question 1 → direct answer 1 → body paragraph 1
• question 2 → direct answer 2 → body paragraph 2
• Each paragraph’s example serves its assigned question only

Use four sentences to find where the second answer disappears

Copy out only the thesis, body-one topic sentence, body-two topic sentence, and conclusion. Mark references to the first and second questions separately: the thesis should contain both marks, each topic sentence should carry one, and the conclusion should return to both. The first missing mark is the rewrite starting point; there is no need to revise the whole essay first.
