• Strategies for an Awesome Introduction

  So you need to write a paper and you have no idea how to get started.  Here's a quick list of introduction strategies that will get you started.  Remember, these apply best in essay writing, but you can easily augment the techniques to fit for press releases, biographies, etc.

   

  • Tell a brief story - it grabs your readers attention, which is key to a good essay
  • Ask a question or two - it allows you to speak directly at your audience and involve them in the discussion
  • Provide an overview - layout your thesis, your case, and the logic that brings you to your solution or conclusion
  • Provide contrast - very effective in proving a point, offer up the opposite of what you're trying to prove
  • Provide an example - people can wrap their heads around tough ideas if they are provided with practical, real world applications
