Learn About Introduction Of Writing

( first slide )

On this day, Miss Zu explains how to do introduction of writing.

In the slide there are few question & answer that you all should now too..

1)      What is the purpose of the introductory paragraph?

·         Get the reader’s attention

·         Set tone for the rest of the essay

·         Make a contract with the reader - what will be covered in this piece?

2)      The Parts of the Introductory Paragraph

·         The Hook - Designed to grab attention immediately and give some indication about the essay’s topic

·         The Transition - Moves the reader from the hook to the driving force of the essay….

·         The Thesis - Makes the contract with the reader about what will be discussed without a blatant announcement.

Miss Zu said in her slide,

“Even though the reader will read the hook first, you actually write the thesis statement first! On a separate piece of paper, write the thesis statement. Then read over the thesis and generate a hook that will grab the reader’s attention. Finally, transition to the thesis and recopy the thesis statement as the last sentence in the paragraph.” =D

Types of Hooks

1. Personal examples

2. Quotations

3. Facts or statistics
