what are some strategies for creating an effective introduction and effective conclusions?

Answer 1

the introduction should include relevant facts and the history concerning your subject,,,if there are several viewpoints about your subject (ways to handle the problem, opinions on it, approaches to it etc) you should touch on those, then lead into your thesis statement by giving your rough opinion, your thesis, and three supporting topics for your thesis,,,,

this is a basic format,,, that can apply to almost any type paper you write,,,,
example: paper concerning the physical punishment of children,
intro: acceptance of it in america, how some opinions are changing, how it can often be taken into the area of abuse,,, brief history of childrens right and how this hasnt been "outlawed" , my personal opinion that it is wrong,,,,, my thesis statement "physical punishment of children should be made illegal due to we as a society do not accept this type punishment for anyone else other then children, its impact on the child, there are other types of discipline that work equally well, "

then your three paragraph topics can be your three examples

your conclusion should sum up your paper,,, the evidence in support of your thesis, draw the reader to your point of view by linking all your "evidence" and elaborate on your personal opinion.

you dont want your conclusion to just be a repeating of what you said in the body of your paper,,,,,but you want to restate your main topics (points, ideas etc) , so basically you are repeating yourself to draw attention to your points,,,

Answer 2

start up your end with "subsequently" or "In end" and merely remind the reader of your substantial factors, and then end it with a quote or maybe something else it particularly is exciting. bear in mind, the tip is the final factor your instructor will study so it particularly is going to be particularly solid.
