The obvious answer to the question about how do you write an essay in five minutes is, "You can't." An essay requires a great deal of thought, so give yourself time to think. What you can do in five minutes, however, is engage in a form of 'brainstorming.' Let your mind wander and jot down some thoughts, any thoughts, about your introduction, especially the question you want to ask or the statement you want to make. In those five minutes you can also make a couple of notes about your conclusion, the major point you want to make to your reader. You might even have time to jot down a word or two about some of the issues you will explore in the body of your essay. At this point, your five minutes will be up. So put your notes to one side. As you walk, even from class to class in your school, let your thoughts develop. Add your thoughts to your notes. (Keep a pen and notepad in your pocket.) Repeat this process a few times and you will have an outline for your essay. You might surprise yourself how good it is. Writing an essay takes time: time to think, time to organize, and time to write.
