Read the question carefully before you decide what kind of essay it is - opinion, compare/contrast, problem and solution, cause and effect, or a mixture. The type of question will decide the layout and your ideas later.

Step 2: Underline

Then,underline key vocabulary in the question and write words with the same or related meaning. This will really save you a lot of time later on. It will also help to avoid repetition of words, and will show that you understand the question very well.

After that,decide if you are for or against the idea. Usually it is best to give both sides  (for and against - one paragraph each) and then to give your opinion in the conclusion. However there are other ways of laying out  your essay.
