3. Decide on an effective opening approach.
There are many ways to lead into an essay. Choose an approach that will fit your writing task, draw
in your reader’s interest, and create a clear context for your argument. Here are some examples of
different approaches you can use in writing an introduction
but don’t feel limited to this list as there
are many creative approaches you can use:
Provide a brief anecdote (a short amusing or interesting real life story) or interesting example that
is relevant to the topic.
Incorporate a thought-provoking quote from the primary text or another outside source.
Use a striking fact or statistic.
Pose a relevant question that will get your reader thinking.
State a problem that will be analyzed or solved.
Connect your topic to a familiar experience the reader is likely to have had or a cultural reference
they are likely to have shared.
State a misconception and then correct it.
Provide background information and/or history on the topic.
