    You could do bullet points for the structure of your essay e.g. Intro, First theme Irish Nationalism etc.

    Or you could do like a spider diagram with thoughts and ideas, but I think this is better suited for creative essays.

    P1 = Introduction: mention themes, poems, some biographical info, refer to the question asked
    P2 = first poem or theme (depending on your approach)
    P3 = second one
    P4 = third one
    P5 = fourth one
    last paragraph = Conclusion: recap on your points, mention your favourite poem, refer to the question, give an overall personal response.

    V rough, hope it helps.
