In this video I go through the basic components of a sterling introduction, the dos and the don'ts, to get you well on your way to slaying that essay.

I cover:

Who the dickens I am;

What an introduction is for;

Why a bangin' introduction is necessary

and the basic structure of an introduction, including:

• A general overview or context to the essay, the general argument or status quo;

• Definitions;

• The idea of a counter argument (hook 'em in!);

• - The aim and structure of your essay;

• The process/method/theoretical framework used;

• Your conclusion, argument or thesis statement.

• Classic no-nos
