ENGL 1010 STCC Catch The Reader Narrative Essay Discussion

For this discussion, post the introductory paragraph for your narration essay. Your introductory paragraph should catch the reader’s attention and end with a thesis statement. Before writing your introductory paragraph, review the information about writing introductory paragraphs in the Course Content and “Chapter 3: Arrangement, The Introduction” in the course text book, Patterns for College Writers.

Responding Directions: When responding, write your overall impression of the paragraph. Then, consider these questions:

• An effective introduction identifies the subject, creates interest, and states the thesis. Does the introductory paragraph meet these requirements?
• Does the thesis fit clearly in the paragraph?
• What method of developing an introductory paragraph did the writer use? (See information concerning writing introductory paragraphs in the Course Content or “Chapter 3: Arrangement, The Introduction” in the course text book, Patterns for College Writers .)
