Question: Do you need info or help on how to write your intro paragraph?

So sorry. This post is much later than I would like to have as well as much briefer, but time is limited what with college applications, registering for classes next semester, bringing up grades, etc.

Anyways, the grade that you get on an essay, or how well your teacher likes your intro, is always based upon the individual. But here's how I like to do all my intro paragraphs.

1. I write my thesis, which is generally my three (or two) points in a sentence with some big words.

2. Next I find a quote or an extremely general (and usually profound) statement that relates to my overall thesis. If you're not sure who wrote the quote DO NOT put something like "a wise man once said" and try not to use an overused phrase.

3. I describe the big picture of the situation without much specific info.

4. I finish describing the situation.

5. I put in my thesis.

This is usually five or six sentences long. For example (this is off the top of my head):

Edmund Burke once said that "All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment...is founded on compromise and barter." There once was a time when our nation was a small strip on the coast of the continent. One year we acquired a great mass of land from the French called the Louisiana Purchase. Many states wished to form in the new found space and compromises had to be made, but perhaps the most well known of these is the Missouri Compromise. The different sections of the nation, the north and the south, had different views about the terms of the compromise. The Missouri Compromise was positively viewed in the North, but brought mixed reactions from the South.
