how to write a "explaining a concept" essay?
i need some ideas on what to write it about and how to go about starting it. I wanted to do it on mythology cause that is something i know a lot about, but i am unsure how to make that into "explaining a concept". I also don't know where to start with that. Any ideas would be great

1.Make sure that your essay appeals to the reader. Everyone has read plenty of boring explanations in textbooks.How do you make it interesting? Use humor, stories, analogies and vivid description to make the reader want to keep on reading.If you relate this concept to something the reader already knows about, you can help them remember and learn it.Of course you also need to draw the reader in with title and opening paragraph.
2. Tell the reader something he doesn’t already know about this concept. Go beyond “common knowledge.”It helps to ask several people what they know about your concept before you begin writing.Make sure that you go beyond that information.Do research if you don’t already know more than other people.
3. Give a clear definition.State your concept clearly in one sentence and then break the concept down into parts and explain each of these.Don’t forget to include the definition of any specialized vocabulary or words used in unfamiliar ways.
4. Focus on one aspect of the concept--you don't have to tell everything about it.Narrowing your topic to something very specific makes you automatically have a more interesting essay.It also helps you to give a clear definition and make sure you tell your reader something new.For example, don’t write about “football games.”Instead, choose a topic like “How to throw a pass” or “fans at our school’s football games.”To narrow this further, you may want to make it even more specific: “fans at Texas high school football games.”You can also do a comparison to help your definition come through: “fans at Texas high school football games as compared to fans at Texas college games.”
5.Describe your concept clearly and in a logical sequence.This is where the preparation for your essay is needed.Often explaining essays need to be very carefully organized.Have someone read through your explanation carefully to see if you have put things in a logical order and not left anything important out.If you know a lot about something, you may tend to leave out steps or parts of things that a reader who is unfamiliar with the concept may not know.That can be very confusing (ever been confused reading instructions to put something together?).One way to help your reader is to be careful to use transition words (see my hub on sentence starters) which will help your reader know how parts of your explanation are related.
6. Use reliable and accurate sources.If you know a lot about a concept, you can certainly use your own knowledge and experience.However, it also helps to look up the concept online and also use interviews and surveys to help pinpoint what your audience knows and what they need to know.If you know someone who knows more about this concept than you, you can interview them to get information.Moreover, if this person (or you) has special credentials which show they are an expert on this subject, be sure to include that in your essay so that your reader knows your explanation is authoritative.
Truly, right now devout humans should not pronouncing "don't teach evolution" at tuition. They're only pronouncing that once teaching evolution, academics must additionally tackle the perimeters that evolution can not really give an explanation for, altho i am now not exactly sure what that refers to...Perhaps the whole dilemma of abiogenesis i suppose, but even then, abiogenesis is not really a part of evolution. Anyway, in your essay, if I were you, i'd emphasize that devout folks handiest need weak point of evolution to be trained as good, instead of handiest emphasizing the force
