what do you write for the introduction? i can never think of how to start. what is an attention-grabber? how would i make one?

Part 1 - You need a snappy lead. Use at least 2 of these to make a snappy lead: Create tension with a rhythm of short sentances, referred to as "short staccato," Tell a story, Use dialogue, Describe a setting, Create suspense.
While doing this, appeal to most of, or all of, the 5 senses. Use vivid verbs, figurative language (simile, metaphor, etc.) and make sure the gerneral mood of your piece matches the introduction.

Part 2- Create a transition sentence that transitions you from your snappy lead to your thesis statement. Summarize what happened in your snappy lead or finish up your snappy lead, then transition to an already-written part 2.

Part 3- Your thesis statement. *Note: Only for non-fiction pieces, nottttt stories* If a thesis statment is not required, create a purpose statement. Both are provable, original opinions on your topic which will develop in your paper. This sentence will tell the reader what they will learn by reading this piece. If a thesis statement is required, you will need to repeat the exact same sentence as the clincher sentence of your conclusion. If it is not, there is no need to repeat your purpose sentence in your conclusion.

Good luck =)
