CONTEXT & BACKGROUND!
CONTEXT & BACKGROUND!
After you have successfully gained your reader’s attention, you have to develop some context to your essay’s topic. Provide relevant background, but don’t begin to lay out your claims--the real meat of your persuasive essay should be located in your body paragraphs. A good test to see if information should go in a body or introductory paragraph is to ask yourself a few questions. Is this providing context or evidence? Does this introduce my argument, or try to prove it? True evidence or proof deserves a body paragraph. Context and background most likely belong in your introduction.
