Locate at least three sources.
Include quotations, paraphrases, or summaries for each of these sources in your argument.
You can use material from:
The goal of your introduction is to establish rapport with your intended audience and to hook your reader into wanting to learn more about your topic. You should consider using an emotional appeal where you weave in elements of narrative writing into this persuasive essay.
Is there a story or anecdote you can include that will sway the emotions of your intended audience?
You should end your 2-3 paragraph introduction with a directly stated thesis statement that includes your topic/stance and claims.
