How to write an introduction
1. How to write an Introduction?
The Mr. Jorge Jiménez García
2. Introduction
In writing, the introduction is one of the most
important parts of the paper. It is the hook that
grabs the reader's attention and tells the reader
about the topic of the essay, story or written work.
Though the introduction is an important part of
the written work, writing a basic introduction takes
only a few sentences.
3. Step 1
Select an interesting, startling or unusual fact
about the topic and include that fact in the first
sentence or two. This will effectively grab the
reader's attention by pointing out something he
did not know. Alternatively, write a brief summary
of the topic in the first sentences. Not every topic
will have something startling to give it a boost, but
a brief summary to lead up to the thesis is
appropriate as well
4. Step 2
Write one or two transitional sentences. For
example, if the original sentence or two gives a
fact, the next sentences should transition from the
fact to the point of the essay and the thesis
statement. If the original sentence was a brief
summary, it can continue into the next
sentences, because the summary will require
more than one sentence in most paragraphs.
5. Step 3
Put the thesis at the end of the introduction. The
thesis is the statement of the point of the written
work. A thesis gives all the main points of the
paper in a brief statement. For example, in an
essay on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," a
thesis might state, "Romeo was originally a fickle
young man, but his love for Juliet changed his
wavering nature." This sets up the essay to
discuss why he was fickle and how falling in love
with Juliet changed him.
