How To Write an Introduction

Dear all,

There is a link below for a Prezzi presentation on how to write an introduction to an English essay. It is a little bare and brief at the moment, but will give you an outline of what is expected. It also includes an example of an introduction for an essay on “The Handmaid’s Tale” which focuses on how the novel explores the idea of using Language as a Tool of Power. It’s a little rushed, but will give you the idea. You are welcome to use parts of it in your own essay and adapt it. You should notice that it basically covers four areas:

  • Author and Text Title – with a brief link to the essay title
  • The plot of the text
  • The main themes covered in the text
  • A thesis/standpoint on the title
  • Good see. Once on the site, select “View Together”, wait and then use the arrows in the bottom right corner of the screen to navigate around the presentation.

    Cheers!
