Day 4 : HOMEWORK

Introduction Preview

Textbooks can often be thought of as giant research papers. 

They have many of the same parts as a research paper, including an introduction.

•choose a textbook from another one of their classes.


•choose one chapter, and read the “introduction” section.

You do NOT need to send me the introduction itself. You can just read it first, and 

open the MS word and create a new file. 

*Name your file “introductionpreview_NetID.”


Answer the following questions.

___________________________________________________________________

1)  What is the purpose of the chapter?

2) How will the topics be organized in the chapter?

3) By combining #1 and #2,
     write a thesis statement for the chapter in your own words.

4) After reading the introduction, are you interested in reading the rest of the chapter? What does the author do to capture your interest? OR What does the author do that bores you?

5) What information does the author put in the introduction?  Why?
