Introductory Paragraph (powerpoint) - This is the first paragraph in an argumentative essay. It should be constructed in three parts: an attention-catcher, a thesis, and a preview. This is perhaps the most important paragraph because it is your first (and sometimes last) chance to make an impact on the reader. It should clearly express the subject of the essay as well as your position.
