This would make a good chart and can be added to as the year progresses. * Brainstorm possibilities for introductions. If students have trouble getting started, go back to the purposes.

Compare their answers to the following slide that lists strategies from the Introduction Scoring Guide (found in the Document Folder). * Discuss each of the strategies listed.
