How to survive an IB geography 15 mark question

The following is what I believe to be the perfect structure for a 15 mark extended written response.  Consider each dash to be a potential sentence or two.  Lastly, if you're strapped for time, it is advisable to consider making two strong points instead of shooting for three watered down points.

Introduction	- Restate the question as the topic sentence.  - "Highlight" the command term.  - Subtly make your points.  - Conclude the introduction.
Paragraph 2  (Point 1)	- State your main point (consider underlining it to set it apart from the rest of  the paragraph).  - Back up your main point with details.  - Use specific examples, including statistics, to support the details.  - Conclude your paragraph (consider evaluating here).
Paragraph 3 (Point 2)	- State your main point (consider underlining it to set it apart from the rest of  the paragraph).  - Back up your main point with details.  - Use specific examples, including statistics, to support the details.  - Conclude your paragraph (consider evaluating here).
Paragraph 4 (Point 3)	- State your main point (consider underlining it to set it apart from the rest of  the paragraph).  - Back up your main point with details.  - Use specific examples, including statistics, to support the details.  - Conclude your paragraph (consider evaluating here).
Conclusion	- Revisit your main points to show you've clearly answered the question.  - Evaluate (weigh the strengths and limitations of the topic) now if you  haven't already done so.  - Come to a clear conclusion.
