I need major help with writing a good high school essay!?

Question:Yes, I'm starting high school and I get kinda bad grades on my essay,stories, reports, ect. It takes me such a long time to think of a subject to write about in school like for the 1st day when they tell you and test you on your writing skills. Last year they told all of us to write about something, and I just wrote a paraghaph, because I didn't have enough time. I got the resoults and they were the lowest grade I could get. I need to know what the difference is of an essay,story,paragragh, and any other writing tips are open! Please tell me how I can write wonderful stories. I need to know what I'm writing, like and essay or whatever! Thank you for your time and answers! My parents tell me I just don't write clear, and I get everything mixed up.

Answers:
Well you should have a focus subject in your writing. Is it about a place, person, or thing? Make it the nucleus of your story and everything else that revolves around it will either give your story a positive charge and draw more readers to it or a negative charge and push them away.

Read the book of Acts in the Bible and take note of how Saul/Paul is the focus, but there are other events and people that support the story you read about the transition.

Hope this helps.
Read a lot.
Good readers make good writers!
An essay is a piece you write about something you are trying to convince somebody of. You state your problem VERY CLEARLY in the first sentence. (Mom, I want to go to the dance on Friday, even though I'm grounded.) Then, in the second paragraph, you give a reason why. (While I realize what I did was bad, I have been chosen by my whole class to be the freshman queen. I can't just not go.) In the next paragraph or two, you come up with some different reasons. Then in the last paragraph, you close by restating what you stated in the beginning. (And so you see, I realize I am grounded, but the whole class chose me to represent them as their queen and I feel it would let them down if I could not attend just because I'm grounded at home.)

A short story has a beginning, middle and end. Something abnormal happens to a character in the beginning that calls them to action. The middle is how they carry out that action, and the end is how they conclude that action to bring a sense of "normalcy" back.

A paragraph is just a passage, a collection of sentences, that keeps the theme of one idea going. You can see by the paragraphs I have written above, (and in this one,) what a paragraph is and how it is structured.

I hope this helps. Good luck with high school!
