HOW DO I CREATE ONE?
1. Before you begin:
Gather your notes and create an outline and a thesis. This will give you a sense of your paper and its
audience. Decide on what material is needed in the introduction in order to make the rest of your
essay clear.
2. Know what to avoid in an introduction:
Avoid broad, general, or sweeping statements (“Since the beginning of time,” “In today’s
world,
” “There are many positive and negative sides to the argument”).
Avoid the mechanical or making an announ
cement (“In this essay I’m going to discuss,” “My
essay will be about”).
Avoid overused lead-ins like dictionary definitions (
“According to American Heritage,”
“Webster’s dictionary defines ‘oppression’ as…”).
Avoid being too specific. Save the specific details and examples for your body paragraphs.
