Salam. .
Hello my friend and Miss Zue. . =)
Today we learnt about introduction of paragraph . Do you know how to write the good introduction in paragraph ?? Quotation? A fact or statistic? A story? Rhetorical question?
Definition? Personal example? Current event? I don’t know what is this. Let’s learnt together .
The Hook
 Designed to grab attention immediately and give some indication about the essay’s topic.
The Transition
 Moves the reader from the hook to the driving force of the essay .
The Thesis
Makes the contract with the reader about what will be discussed without a blatant announcement.

 Types of hook :

1 Personal examples

2. Quotations
3. Facts or statistics
4. Rhetorical questions
5. Current events
6. Contrast to the thesis statement
7. Definition
Using Quatation
Content of quote should be:
~
Dramatic
~Emotionally appealing
~Surprising
~Humorous

>Quote does not have to be from a famous person .
>Must be relevant to thesis statement .
>Using fact or statistics .
>Must be startling or unusual .
>Must be from a credible source .
>Use journal as a place to record both quotes and facts or statistics that might work for an introduction .

Using current event
>Must be recent .
>Must be important .
>Should be made public by newspapers, television, or radio .
>Using contrast is thesis .
>In direct contrast to the thesis statement .
>It’s fun to prove an expert wrong ..
