    Notes from writing workshop four on introductions and conclusions in a persuasive academic essay



    A good introduction should have

    Some background information so the reader has a context for her reading
    A thesis statement so the reader knows the point of which you will be trying to persuade her
    A scope sentence that sets out the stages of your argument

    Your essay must do what your introduction says it will






    A good conclusion should

    pull together the different strands of a text and leaves the reader with a strong final
    impression.
    not simply repeat the main points. It should repeat them with added emphasis and
    conviction.
    not contain any new information
    leave the reader with the writers final thoughts on the subject
