How to write an introduction paragraph
Tell a small story.
The story can be humorous, serious, or shocking, but regardless of its nature, it should directly address or relate to the topic of your paper.
Anecdotes can be true or fictional.

OPTIONS:
- Try to weave in as much information as possible about the topic without necessarily talking about it in the first place. If possible, include personal anecdotes, relevant anecdotes, or information from a previous study.
- It's up to you and whoever you're writing your introduction paragraph to determine whether or not they include the material you're going to include. Make sure you end with some introduction music, poignant clothing, or anything more elaborate.
- Stories about an event may provide more information than retelling of the events earlier. Stay away from simple lies like inaccurate information about controversial subjects or things that may spread rumors.
- They can also be personal or about someone else. The story should be short enough to tell in a few sentences.

OUT: They can also be personal or about someone else. The story should be short enough to tell in a few sentences.

How to write an article review
Understand what an article review is.
An article review is written for an audience who is knowledgeable in the subject matter instead of a general audience. When writing an article review, you will summarize the main ideas, arguments, positions, and findings, and then critique the article's contributions to the field and overall effectiveness.

OPTIONS:
- An article review can be written by just one or several different individuals. If you want to write a review for a broader audience, write a review based on one of 2 methods.
- An article review should be 30 to 40 minutes long. Many of the best topics and arguments are skimmed over and you should focus on each one so you get the style of the article you want.
- Article reviews present more than just an opinion. You will engage with the text to create a response to the scholarly writer's ideas.
- Read the article review several times before deciding how to evaluate it. You will likely have to skim through a paragraph in the article review, which you would pull up to identify any blanks in your own ideas.

OUT:
Article reviews present more than just an opinion. You will engage with the text to create a response to the scholarly writer's ideas.
