The Importance of an Intro: Blog Week 10A

An introduction on an essay sets the stage for your audience.  Start with an attention grabber, such as famous quotes, poems, or lyrics to begin with the opening of the introduction.  This immediately pulls the audience into the vital information that will soon follow leading into the essay.  Build on the continuance of the information which leads into the thesis statement.  The object of the introduction gives your audience a 'road map' of the essay.  It prepares the reader to follow through the essay without getting lost in your words.
