Task:

1. Use the Readings listed above to craft two original introductions.
2. After each introduction, identify which type of introduction you tried to craft (i.e. analogy, statistics, drawing a contrast etc.) and your thoughts about it.
   Note: Introductions to formal research papers at the senior level do NOT need to be just one paragraph. However, the thesis should be the final sentence in the introduction.
3. Post your two original introductions and the commentary on each in this discussion thread.
4. Reply to at least two peers’ introductions. Comment on which introduction you prefer and why. Offer insights as to how to strengthen the introduction.
