This slide shows the questions that should be answered for the readers once they finish reading the “Introduction.” In showing this slide, I begin by asking the students what questions they have about a topic when they are first introduced to it. The analogy I use is that an introduction section is like a car or bus ride to a place where the readers will learn something. I ask the students to imagine that I am leading them out the door to a parked car or bus that will take them someplace where they will learn something. I then ask what questions they have as they are walking out the door. The students will guess the first two questions right off (“what topic are we going to learn about?” and “why is that topic important?”) and after prodding will get the fourth one (“how long will this trip take?” or “will we come back in time for our next class?”). Although they rarely guess the third question (“what information do I need to know to understand this subject?”), the third question makes sense to them because they usually associate “background” with “introduction.” I usually remind them that in this section, the document is referred to in the present tense (“This report presents…”).
