Blog#5: Why is it important to have risk-takers and resistors among a population?
Don’t forget the structure!
- Introduction: Introduce your topic. Give some background and context.
- Body: This where you present your ideas, one by one. For each new idea, you should have a new paragraph. Remember, the evidence and detail which supports the idea is part of that paragraph. This can be 2-4 paragraphs.
- Conclusion: Briefly summarize your ideas. You do not present new ideas, but rather, present a summary of your ideas (without the detail). It is a little like the introduction, but not exactly. It doesn’t need to include the background info you may have included in your intro, but rather, a neat way to sum up your ideas, or drive home the point! Make it interesting!
