You don't really need many ideas for essays. You only need one idea per content paragraph which means 2/3 ideas for the essay and these ideas are big ideas like "I agree" and "I disagree". What you do need are reasons and examples to support those ideas. I often find in class that students are much happier trying to think of reasons ("Why do I think that?") and examples than ideas.2. A practical tip is to brainstorm vocabulary before writing. This will not just help the vocab in your essay but can also help with ideas. You see a word and then get an idea fro the essay from it.
