1. 1984 Introductions–First drafts are due Monday! This should be typed!
More Tips (Don’t feel as though you have to cover all below in your intro):
- Start fast!
- Set up the issue being argued. Yet, allow the body of your essay to flesh out the argument.
- Provide necessary background or context. The context or framework makes your thesis interesting.
- The intro should establish what you found interesting and why.
- Hook the reader with the opening line. Yet, do not try to be cute or clever. Rather, employ a thematically meaningful hook. An in-text so what should feature a more direct text-based opening line.
2. Slaughterhouse Five–Read and annotate Chapter 3.
