A note about introductions

As promised in class, here is a resource from the University of North Carolina on writing introductions.  There are many theories about writing introductions, but some basic principles generally apply.  I hope you find this document helpful.

  3. There are instructions to get into the portal here: http://www.fifeschools.com/fhs/staff/agiddings/index.html
    Make sure you use the correct domain and slash mark as in the example. Hopefully that will work for you.

  5. Arial,
    Your file wasn't corrupted, it was just saved in the new Word docx format, which only the new word can read, though you can download a converter for older versions of Word. Anyway, I converted it into an rtf file and uploaded it to your portal folder. That should allow you to open it with whatever word processor you happen to have at home. You weren't missing much though--all you had was the thesis from the book and part of another sentence.
