Writing Homework Help

Learning Objective:

This assignment will help you construct an engaging and effective introduction, which will appeal to readers and make them want to read your essay.

Directions:

Step 1: Review

Before you start this assignment, please make sure you have reviewed our lecture Introductions: Making a Good First Impression.

Step 2:

To help you brainstorm different introduction strategies for your essay, let’s practice some ways that you can begin your Essay 2 Prompt: Free vs. Hate Speech.

Using the different types of “leads” explained here, select one type of “lead” and write out a possible introduction paragraph the paper you are working on. Choose a way that you might begin and then add your background information and your thesis (it can (should) be the thesis you wrote for the previous exercise for both leads).
