Introduction

Common Open Strategies How that Might Work with the Religion Report
Open with an anecdote. Retell/summarize a Bible story that relates to your
paper's topic.
Open with thought-provoking details. List examples of incidents from the Bible that relate
to your paper's topic.
Open with a contrast. Contrast today with first-century Palestine. For
example, if your paper is about what was the life
of woman like in first-century Palestine,
then you would describe briefly the life of
contemporary women before asking your
primary question.
Open with a quotation. Use Brainy Quote or Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
to locate a quotation related to your paper's topic.
Introduce the person who said the quote, present
the quote and comment on the quote before
asking your primary question.
Primary Question
After your opening strategy, continue your introductory paragraph by stating your primary question.

Immediately following the primary question, state your thesis. Remember the thesis for this paper is not argumentative/persuasive.
