Introduction: the Order of Events

When Drafting:

1. Always start with the claim

  • You don't know how to hook the reader or what context is necessary until you know what you will be arguing

2. Critical context

  • Tell us about the novel

3. The dreaded hook

  • Avoid questions
  • Fun facts about the novel/author are better

Proper Order:

1. Hook the reader (1-2 sentences)

2. Critical context (3-4 sentences)

  • Identify any necessary characters
  • Identify setting (where/when)
  • Identify any major plot points

3. State your claim (1 sentence)

Conclusion: the Order of Events

When Drafting:

1. Always start with the restated claim

  • Pro-Tip: do this part when drafting your original claim

2. Connect to wide world

  • Why did we just spend all this time reading this essay? What does this teach us about the bigger world?

3. Speedy-major-points-review

  • Identify critical points that need to be restated briefly

Proper Order:

1. Restate the claim (1 sentence)

2. Speedy-major-points-review (2-3 sentences)

  • And I mean speedy -- just hit the highlights & move on

3. Connect to wide world (1-2 sentences)

  • Why does this really matter?
