INTRODUCTIONS AND 
CONCLUSIONS 
College Writing 
p 94-101
Introductions 
The introduction is the first part of an essay; in a paragraph-length 
essay, the introduction may be just one-two 
sentences long. 
• It attracts the reader’s interest, encouraging him or her to 
continue reading the essay. 
• It supplies any background information that the reader may 
need to understand the essay.
Common Methods 
•Start with an idea or a situation that is the opposite of the one 
you will develop. 
•Explain the importance of your topic to your reader. If you can 
convince your readers that the subject in some way applies to them, 
or is something they want to know more about, they will want to 
keep reading. 
•Use an incident or a brief story. Stories are naturally interesting. 
They appeal to a reader’s curiosity. An anecdote will grab your 
reader’s attention right away. The story should be brief and should 
be related to your main idea.
Common Methods 
•Do not begin your introduction with the following 
methods: 
•Do not start with a broad, general statement of your 
topic. Vague statements do nothing to add information to 
your topic; they cause your readers to ask, “Who cares?” 
•Do not begin by asking a rhetorical question. Make 
strong statements about what you think instead of asking 
your readers to do the work for you.
Conclusions 
A concluding paragraph is your chance to remind the reader of 
your main idea and bring the paper to a natural and graceful 
ending. 
•End with a summary of your main ideas and a final 
thought. 
•Include a thought-provoking quotation. A well-chosen (and 
well-punctuated) quotation can be effective in re-emphasizing 
your point. 
•End with a prediction or recommendation.
Titles 
A title is a brief summary of your essay topic. 
•Titles are centered on the first line of your essay. 
•They are not formatted--that is, they are not bold, 
underlined, or in bigger font than the rest of your essay. 
•Every word in the title is capitalized, except for 
prepositions.
