Tuesday 03/27 Writing - Crafting Introductions and Conclusions

Purpose: As an informational writer, I can craft an introduction that both explains the structure of my writing and lures readers in.

1. Connection:  Sell This House
2. Teaching:  Today I want to teach you that research writers introduce their writing by explaining its structure.  But more importantly, researchers also try to lure readers to read their writing.
3. Engagement:  Erie Canal Introductions
4. Application: Research Report
• Craft an introduction that not only previews the content and structure of your writing, but acts as a hook that intrigues and lures the reader into reading more and more.
• Redraft your research report, adding text features to help reader's navigation of your writing.
• Match your information to fit the patterns in your table of contents.
• Structure your writing using the different formats available for information writing.
