The question isn't clear on what kind of essay needs to be written. Is it an informative essay explaining what microskills in writing are, or is the essay a persuasive essay about the importance of those microskills in writing? Regardless of the essay's type, be sure to grab your reader's attention right from the first sentence. Bored readers don't keep reading with any kind of engagement. As for the specific microskills to discuss, I would be sure to emphasize the importance of using acceptable grammatical systems. This could mean a lot of things, but one definite microskill that students tend to mess up quite a bit is subject and verb agreement. Singular subjects require singular verbs. Most people don't mess this up until a prepositional phrase is thrown in there. For example: The team of boys are doing quite well. This is an incorrect subject and verb agreement. The sentence is not about the boys doing well. The sentence is about the team. It should be written as follows: The team of boys is doing well. Other microskills to discuss could be about pluralization, varying sentence types, and writing at an efficient rate of speed to fit the purpose of a piece of writing.
