The document provides guidance on writing introductions for college papers according to rubrics at USF. An introduction should state the main topic/thesis clearly and capture the reader's attention. It can be written either before or after the first draft. Effective introductions start with a question, anecdote, fact, paradox or analogy related to the topic. The introduction should define the topic and divide out points that will be discussed in the body, then drive those points home in the conclusion.
