The Perfect Introduction

An introduction is a crucial part of a successful essay. It's important to have the introduction because this is the paragraph in your essay that pulls the audience in and lets them know what you are going to be talking about. People often get disinterested if they don't instantly know what they are reading about, so having that introduction will help the audience gain a broader understanding of what you are going to be discussing and will be more likely to continue to read if you have captured their attention.

Steps to creating the perfect introduction:

Step 1: Open with a hook. Capture the audience's attention! Make them want to continue reading.
Step 2: Follow up with back ground information. Begin to give the audience an idea of what you are going to be talking about in the body of your essay. This is best done by splitting up your essay into sections and giving that section a topic in the introduction.
Step 3: Present your thesis statement. Your thesis is what your whole essay is going to be discussing, so make it match the overall theme of your essay.

If you follow these steps when writing your introduction, you will have the essay of a life time!
