This is my topic and I need help writing a good introductory paragraph. it's for a persuasive paper!!

Answer 1

Write the paper first, then write the intro. How can you write an intro for a paper that hasn't been written yet??

Follow the writing process steps:

<u>Prewriting</u>
~brainstorming
~planning/outlining
~thesis statement writing

<u>Writing</u>
~write the first draft OF THE BODY OF THE PAPER, using your outline as a roadmap
~after the body of the paper is done, write a first draft of the intro, with the thesis statement at the END of the intro paragraph
~after the first draft of the body and intro are done, write a draft of the conclusion

<u>Post-writing</u>
~revise content to make sure all ideas flow smoothly and all paragraphs are sufficiently developed
~write second, third, etc., drafts
~proofread for mechanics
