Introduction: This is in your own words
Introduction: This is in your own words. It introduces the reader to what the paper will be about by using a broad idea that will narrow to the main idea.

Another way to keep the reader from the strong desire to jump off a cliff from boredom is to create a clear and concise thesis statement with a projected organization which tells the reader what to expect in the essay.

What is the broad idea here. Can you identify the hook
What is the broad idea here? Can you identify the hook? What is the projected organization in the thesis statement? An example of a good introduction with a clear thesis: Mountain climbing is often viewed by many as a crazy man’s sport. Those who pursue mountain climbing as a hobby have often been diagnosed as borderline crazy. This is because people who choose this activity have been found to have an extreme desire to try to hurt themselves. However, whether this hobby is dangerous or not, those who pursue it must be in excellent physical shape, have excellent problem solving skills, and have developed effective ways of communication What is the broad idea here?

Second body paragraph Topic Sentence: Although it is not obvious, those who climb develop excellent problem solving skills to help them cope with any problems they might encounter on the climb. Some evidence to support this topic sentence might be: -There are many things that can go wrong on a mountain, from faulty equipment to being caught in bad weather. A climber must be prepared for any problem that might arise. -Climbers have much experience in learning how to problem solve in situations where the weather can turn at any moment. For example, they will know to dig a hole in the snow to protect themselves from the wind and cold. -Many climbers have had problems with their equipment, such as faulty valves on oxygen tanks, or frayed lines. They will know how to repair such things because not doing so could jeopardize their safety on the mountain. -There are many things that can go wrong on a mountain, from faulty equipment to being caught in bad weather. -someone who has developed excellent problem solving skills will know how to protect themselves when bad weather happens during the climb. -If they have problems with their equipment, a climber will know how to either repair the equipment, or find an alternative in order to keep themselves safe on the mountain.
