7. Check Spelling and Grammar
Now the essay is written, but you're not quite done. Reread what you've written, looking out for mistakes and typos.
•   Revise for technical errors.
•   Check for grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. 

Mustafizur rRhman:
In your introduction, it's important to include a hook. This is the line or line that will lure a reader in and encourage them to want to learn more. For more on this, check out How to Write a Hook.
And, to help you formulate a killer conclusion, scan through these Conclusion Examples.

Mustafizur rRhman:
•   Revise for clarity, consistency, and structure.
•   Support your thesis adequately with the information in your paragraphs. Each paragraph should have its own topic sentence. This is the most important sentence in the paragraph that tells readers what the rest of the paragraph will be about.
•   Make sure everything flows together. As you move through the essay, transition words will be paramount. Transition words are the glue that connects every paragraph together and prevents the essay from sounding disjointed.
•   Reread your introduction and conclusion. Will the reader walk away knowing exactly what your paper was about?

6. Write the Essay
Once you have an outline, it's time to start writing. Write based on the outline itself, fleshing out your basic skeleton to create a whole, cohesive and clear essay.
You'll want to edit and re-read your essay, checking to make sure it sounds exactly the way you want it to. Here are some things to remember:

Mustafizur rRhman:
•   Don't jumble too many ideas in each paragraph or the reader may become confused.
•   Ensure you have transitions between paragraphs so the reader understands how the paper flows from one idea to the next.
•   Fill in supporting facts from your research under each paragraph. Make sure each paragraph ties back to your thesis and create a cohesive, understandable essay.
