You have started to write your actual research paper. When it comes to the Introduction Paragraph this can either make or break your paper. If you are not excited or passionate about your topic it will show in your introduction.
Remember the following:
1. Use a good attention grabber. You can start with a quote that is related to your topic. You can write a scenario or story that illustrates your topic. You can start with a question or statistic that is dealing with your topic.
2. Do not use first person. You must remain neutral. If you start using "I", "me", "myself" it will lead you to sound more biased and that is something you do not want in a research paper.
3. Do not include too many details or get into your actual information. Your introduction should be general information regarding your topic. Leave the details for the body paragraphs.
4. Your last sentence should be where you make it clear what you will be arguing in your paper. You should pick a side.
Introduction paragraphs will be due TYPED, 12 point font, double spaced on
November 19th for Periods 1,3,5
November 20th for Periods 2,4,6
*Save your work on your computer or USB so that you do not have to retype it later for the final draft.
