How to use these Introduction Paragraph Templates:
One of the most challenging parts of the writing process is also one of the most important: writing an introduction paragraph. These introduction paragraph templates will provide students with support with research writing by guiding them to write effective and captivating introductions to their research essays.
This activity is similar to children’s word games, except with an academic focus. There are 15 introduction paragraph skeletons in total - each with a specific focus and style. These fill-in-the-blank templates model academic writing and offer differentiated options for various levels of writing.
Styles for these introduction outlines include historical analysis, case study approach, comparative study, policy analysis, and more. Students will also practice engaging strategies to captivate their audience, including narrative introductions, rhetorical questions, and reluctant conclusions.
Each skeleton includes a brief description to help students select the paragraph outline that will work best for their essay. Students can then fill-in-the-blanks after completing their research.
If you are teaching the AP Language and Composition course or preparing students to write the College Board’s AP Language and Composition exam, these introductory templates are perfect for the synthesis essay. Several of these introduction skeletons utilize rhetorical devices including kairos, procatalepsis, and anticipation.
To model the use of each paragraph template, a set of student examples have been provided. These examples will help students select the template that will best suit their research essay. They also demonstrate the way in which the grammar of the template may need to be modified, especially to maintain correct subject-verb agreement.
