Introducing your assignment
The purpose of your introduction is to contextualise your assignment, giving the reader a clear expectation of what is to follow. The introduction creates a thread by which the whole assignment is held together.
In the introduction, you should do the following:
- contextualise your topic
- establish the topic clearly
- indicate to your reader how the topic will be dealt with
- explain its significance
- define any unknown terms
The order in which these are dealt with may vary and each can be dealt with in different ways.
