Developing Your Writing:
The Introduction The first paragraph of your writing is the introduction. The introduction should grab the reader’s attention by expressing something interesting that makes the reader want to read more. The introduction should also include a topic sentence that states clearly what the essay is about. All the other sentences in the introduction should support the topic sentence.
As you write your introduction, ask yourself:
• Is this paragraph interesting and engaging? Will it make the reader want to know more?
• Does it include a topic sentence that clearly tells the reader what the essay is about?
• Do the other sentences support the topic sentence?
