Establish a thesis or theory that will give the essay focus and purpose.Ģ 1. Introduce and establish relationships among the key sources being used in the paper 3. You have many other choices as a writer for how you will structure this initial relationship with your readers (see the Webpage version of this handout for links to other sample opening paragraphs) but this model is useful in explaining the key elements that most often characterize effective opening paragraphs in W031, W130, and W131. What follows is a description of one way to construct an opening paragraph that will address the needs of these readers. If you imagine yourself explaining a particular issue using examples from particular readings to someone who is interested but a bit confused about the whole topic, you will get into the habit of including the specific details and explanations that help your readers see what you want them to see. It is important to practice writing your papers as well for readers who are less familiar with the material. Your readers this semester include your classmates and your teacher, all of whom are familiar with the class assignments and the readings from the textbook. In academic writing, your opening paragraph functions as a kind of a road map that helps guide your reader through your paper. This semester, you will adapt that funnel and the other things you already know about introductory paragraphs in order to create openings that are effective within the particular context of academic writing and intellectual debate. But what might an opening paragraph look like in a first-year course that introduces you to academic writing? In this setting, the opening of that funnel does not have to establish common ground with a huge, general audience ( We are all individuals ) instead, it can address an audience of educated readers looking for intellectual engagement and debate (We are all individuals, but there is always the constant pull of conformity preventing us from being totally individualistic ). For instance, you may have been told that an opening paragraph should act as a funnel, starting from a more general point of contact with your reader and moving toward the specific statement of your thesis or main idea.

A mosaic of stories and images, like so many opened windows on this hidden strip of territory, and some crucial 'keys' to better understand it.1 What is an opening paragraph? You are, no doubt, familiar with writing opening paragraphs for papers.
The documentary work she presents, offers visitors a long journey within the buffer zone and along both its southern and northern sides, from west to east. She has been following the buffer zone for over a year, seeking to capture this territory and question its reality. And this for an obvious reason: without the permission and a serious UN escort, we are limited to get a glimpse of it and imagine it from outside.īarbara Laborde is a French photojournalist based in Nicosia. The UN troops are working there every day, Georgios and Osman cultivate their fields, Stelios visits the cemetery of his village, Elena opened a kindergarten while Mihalakis and his wife live there all year long! The buffer zone is 40-years-old, but only a few insiders really know it.
Two ceasefire lines delimit the buffer zone, with a different reality behind each of them and between them a territory where life continues. The line, as it is known, is not really a line. It remains an itchy scar, no longer bloody, but still an open wound. Depending on who and from where one looks at it, the buffer zone repels, fascinates, disturbs, intimidates or is totally ignored. You are stopped by its barbed wire or you enter it without noticing. You face it or simply guess its presence behind military watchtowers. You follow it for a while and then you lose track of it.
