INTRODUCTION
The introduction guides your reader into the paper by grabbing attention and
introducing the topic. It should begin with a hook that catches the reader’s
interest. This could be a quote, an analogy, a question, etc. After getting the
reader’s attention, the introduction should give some background information
on the topic. The ideas within the introduction should begin as very general
and gradually get more specific until it ends with the thesis statement. (See the
Introductions handout for further information.)
