4.5 Introductions and Conclusion + Workshop

Warm-Up: Today’s Focus
Introduce the goals and objectives for the day

Part I: Introductions Lecture (10 min)
We will begin class, with a brief review of the parts common to an introduction. A distinction will try to be made between IMRD and “Essay” introductions.



Part II: Introductions Workshop (20min)
Bring up your final paper outline/draft. Using the chart provided above for Introductions, go through your introduction and add any part which you feel will be needed. Also, work to revise the content you currently have in your introduction.  I will circulate to provide assistance

Part III: Conclusions (10 min)
This part will provide a brief overview of the basics to composing a conclusion/discussion


Part IV: Conclusions/Discussion Comparisons (20 min)
In this part of today’s class, I will provide a sample discussion/conclusion section of an IMRD paper and a conclusion paragraph from a past 501 student essay. I will ask you to read through both of them and try to highlight parts according to the directions. We will then go over some key similarities/differences as a class. The lesson will also be followed up by a Chart that tries to make a more clear distinction between the two types of conclusions.

Part II: Conclusion Workshop (20 min)
Bring up your final paper outline/draft. Using the chart on provided above for Conclusions/Discussions, go through your conclusion/discussion and add any part which you feel will be needed. Also, work to revise the content you currently have. I will circulate to provide assistance.
