The beginning a report is called it’s introduction. This is a very important part of the report! It also must announce the topic of your report. You want to draw your readers in! Ways to draw readers in with your introduction: 1.Ask a Question: “Have you ever wondered about…..?” 2.Tell an amazing fact! 3.Use sounds and effects: “WHAM! The basketball slammed into the hoop!” 4.Use a quote you found while researching Lesson 6: Drafting the introduction of a report
