Organisation
Write a detailed plan rather than 2 copies. A good plan helps you organize your argument in the most effective way.
This is an essay so no headings and titles. It should be clear what each paragraph is about from the first (topic) sentence.

Remember citations are needed in the text as well – every time you paraphrase, summarise or quote.
