The first thing to do if you have a history essay to write, is to really spend some time evaluating the question you are being asked. No matter how well-written, well-argued, or well-evidenced your essay is, if you don't answer the answer the question you have been asked, you cannot expect to receive a top mark. Think about the specific key words and phrasing used in the question, and if you are uncertain of any of the terms, look them up and define them.  The key words will often need to be defined at the start of your essay, and will serve as its boundaries.  For example, if the question was "To what extent was the First World War a Total War?", the key terms are "First World War", and "Total War". Do this before you begin conducting your research to ensure that your reading is closely focussed to the question and you don't waste time. With a history essay there are a number of different types of question you might be asked, which will require different responses from you. You need to get this clear in the early stages so you can prepare your essay in the best way. Look at your set essay question and ask yourself whether you are being asked to explain, interpret, evaluate, or argue. You might be asked to do any number or all of these different things in the essay, so think about how you can do the following:  Explain: provide an explanation of why something happened or didn't happen. Interpret: analyse information within a larger framework to contextualise it. Evaluate: present and support a value-judgement. Argue: take a clear position on a debate and justify it. Once you have done some research you will be beginning to formulate your argument, or thesis statement, in your head. It's essential to have a strong argument which you will then build your essay around. So before you start to plan and draft your essay, try to summarise your key argument in one or two sentences.  Your thesis statement should clearly address the essay prompt and provide supporting arguments. These supporting arguments will become body paragraphs in your essay, where you’ll elaborate and provide concrete evidence.  Your argument may change or become more nuanced as your write your essay, but having a clear thesis statement which you can refer back to is very helpful. For example, your summary could be something like "The First World War was a 'total war' because civilian populations were mobilized both in the battlefield and on the home front". Once you have evaluated the question, you need to draw up an essay plan. This is a great opportunity to organise your notes and start developing the structure which you will use for your essay. When drawing up the plan you can assess the quality and depth of the evidence you have gathered and consider whether your thesis statement is adequately supported.  Pick out some key quotes that make your argument precisely and persuasively.  When writing your plan, you should already be thinking about how your essay will flow, and how each point will connect together.

summary: Evaluate the essay question. Consider what the question is asking you. Try to summarise your key argument. Make an essay plan.

When you transition from short to long hair, it is inevitable that you will have bangs at some point in the process. If you are growing out blunt bangs, wait for the hair to grow past your eyes. At this point, part the bangs down the center and push them to the sides of your forehead. As your bangs grow out, they will reach awkward, in-between lengths. While you can’t avoid this stage, you can use clever styling tricks and accessories to hide your not-quite-bangs.  Pull your bangs back with a headband or hair wrap Braid your bangs along your hairline Pin your bangs back with pins and clips During the bob stage, your bangs may near the length of the rest of your hair. At this point, ask your stylist to blend your bangs with the rest of your hair. He or she can achieve this by creating layers.

summary: Wait for bangs to grow past your brows to push to the side. Hide your awkward bangs with different styling tricks. Turn your bangs into layers.

Makeup will be no help when your eye is still swollen, and the application might even aggravate your eye further and delay healing time. Just be patient and give your injury a few days to heal. If you have cuts or lacerations around your eye, don't risk infection by trying to cover it with makeup. You'll just have to own your black eye until it heals. A primer will keep your makeup on longer and keep it from settling into wrinkles and creases around your eye. Apply the primer wherever there is discoloration and you plan to use makeup. Dab it on gently with your ring finger, which is your weakest finger and is least likely to irritate your sink. Depending on the stage of healing, your eye could be red, black, purple, brown, green, or yellow. This shade will show through your concealer and ruin the illusion, so you need to neutralize it by applying applying the opposite color, or the color that is across the color wheel. A color correcting concealer can do this while also applying concealer, or you can improvise with blush or eyeshadow.  If your bruise is green, use red, and vice versa. If your bruise is blue, use orange or salmon. If your bruise is yellow, try purple, and vice versa. Use your ring finger to gently pat the concealer around your eye, covering the color-corrected areas and also blending a little bit out beyond. Allow the concealer to dry and apply another layer if necessary.  Once the concealer is dry, apply your foundation and other makeup as normal, being careful to blend the edges of your concealer with the foundation. If you didn't use primer, you can use a dusting of translucent powder to set the concealer. Eyeliner or mascara should be avoided until your eye is healed, as it draws attention to the area. Plus, tugging and pressing on your eyelid could cause more swelling.  Rock a bright, attention-grabbing lipstick that will have people focusing on your lips instead of your eye. Try a new hairstyle or take some fashion risks. To out-shine your shiner, try changing your hair color or wear something with a bold print. If you've ever wanted to do something crazy with your look, now is the time!
summary: Wait for the swelling to go down. Use a primer to keep your makeup in place. Cancel out the color of your black eye. Apply your concealer over the color-corrected area. Draw attention away from your eye.
