Good essays for subjects like history and social studies should be accurate, fact-based, and interesting to read. They have a strong introduction with a central thesis (the main point your essay will try to make). Then, the body of the essay proves or illustrates your main point; and finally, your conclusion sums it all up. So, when writing an essay about any president, you would first set the stage in your introduction. Tell me a little about the president and about what he said his goals were. In the case of Barack Obama, you can find this information on the president's website (barackobama.com) or in newspaper and magazine articles (most of which are online) in reliable publications like Time magazine or the New York Times. [If you quote anyone, be sure to use a footnote to show where the information came from.] After your introduction, you would discuss some of the president's accomplishments, as well as some of the areas where his political opponents say he has not done a good job. You would then write up your conclusion.
