As their name indicates, introductions should “introduce,” outline, or give an overview of what your paper is going to talk about. This means introducing the topic, outlining the major points that will be discussed, giving relevant.
Body: background, and presenting a clear thesis (main idea). Introductions are difficult to write if you have not properly outlined your ideas and if you are not aware of the structure needed for your assignment.
Conclusion: An introduction should NOT talk vaguely about the topic or give an overly broad background. They should give specific details and bits of information that outline the parts of the paper. As seen in the example below, students should begin their introduction with a clear topic sentence and end with a detailed thesis. Avoid vague language, over-generalizations, or going off-topic.
