An introduction is very important when writing any kind of
paper. An introduction is usually one paragraph to two paragraphs long and is
used to tell the reader what to expect throughout what they are about to read.
An introduction has a thesis statement, a more broken down explanation of the
title; the thesis statement is an expansion of the tile. In an introduction the
goal is to get the readers focus on all of the main points and what the purpose
of the writing was or is. The main points in an introduction are called road
maps. The road map in an introduction must be clear, not confusing; it must be
in order and organized. After the road
map is given, the last sentence of the introduction paragraph(s) will hint what
next sentence will be about, and that is where the body begins. This sentence is called a transition sentence.
An introduction has a set up to grab the attention of the
reader by giving a history or background to make it more relevant to the
reader.
