Deadline #11 HW#1

Ironically enough the only worthwhile substance I got from this weeks reading was on the exercises on drafting introductions and conclusions. I've always had a tough time thinking of exactly how I'm going to start a paper. Conclusions were always a bit easier for me because I'm from the mold of end with a good quote. I think of all the types of introductions you can choose from, albeit straightfoward, is defining your argument. Recently my preferred method has been leading with a story, as I prefer something that grabs my attention. On the contrary I think ending with a story is a bit distracting as I feel as it would detract from your main points and leave the reader thinking about the story alone. The only other useful reading material was the chapter on plagerism as it reminds you even summaries and paraphrasing can be in the grey area at times. I only got the first and last websites to work and they were just categories you could click into.
