This draft essay introduction (which will change considerably by the time you have finished your research and draft essay writing) is intended to help you solidify your main argument, develop your argument around your three supporting ideas, and offer a map of the direction your essay might take. By the time you complete the first draft of your entire essay, your introduction will need to be rewritten to accommodate the direction the body of your essay went in, so please don’t worry about originality reports in turnitin as your draft intro and your final essay introduction should be quite different. This draft intro should include
Topic/research scope
A sentence or two that reveals your topic (this might be one of the ideas you outlined in your last assessment) and sets up the context of your idea/approach (1 mark)
Your three supporting ideas/points (3-4 sentences) (3 marks)
Your support material (the scholarly concepts you will use to back up your ideas) (2 marks)
A thesis statement (1 mark)
Writing style, grammar, punctuation (1 marks)
It should have a topic sentence, an idea about how this is apparent in the text(s), an idea about how it is supported conceptually and it should all relate to your THESIS statement/main argument/purpose. So there should be at least two MLA in-text references (one from your text and one from scholarly support).
