Your Intro

5/17/2016

 
Don't start with, "Today, I'm going to talk about."  Paragraphs are easier when you build to your main idea, especially when we need ten sentences.  Imagine that you're climbing a flight of steps, and your topic sentence is at the very top.  Lead the audience to what you want to say, that way you've proven your point before you even say it.  

Great ways to start an introduction: Ask a question.  Use an example.  Tell a story.  Don't talk about yourself as a writer, stick to the main idea like you see below.  The entire section is an example of how the character in the film personifies my final sentence.
