How do you create a great introduction to a literary analysis? Why, you write it last, of course. The narrator of a short video on crafting a great introduction suggests tackling the introduction after you have crafted your thesis, drafted your analysis, and formulated your conclusion. She models how to use the historical context of a topic, or an anecdote, or a larger idea or concept to intrigue and inspire readers. The video even includes suggestions on introduction forms to avoid.
