This guided 18-slide PowerPoint takes students through the steps of writing an introduction for an essay. The presentation defines each part of the introduction (attention getter, background, tri-part thesis), and gives an example. The presentation directs students to generate their own pieces of the introduction throughout the power point. The power point also has easy to remember acronyms that will help students remember how to write an introduction for an essay.
I have taught in both large, urban high schools and small, rural schools. I have taught all levels of high school English as well as the yearbook and journalism classes.
