Create the following sentences required below and then put them together into your introduction paragraph.
A ] Creating the Hook
Create 4 different kinds of hooks about the subject of this introduction – remember that this time we are focusing on chapters 3,4,5:
Write an interesting statistic/fact about this subject that most people do not know – quote your source
Write a famous quote which may apply to this subject – put the quote in quotation marks (author of quote)
Write an important question that we might ask about the topic. [do not ask about intuitive thinking or thin slicing as the reader may not know what this is]
Write a bit of wisdom / old saying you know that is suggested by this subject. It can come from the USA or your country.
Look at your 4 hooks and decide which one you like the best and use that one in your paragraph 🙂
B ] Background information:
1. Write a sentence that explains your favorite hook and relate it to the book, using author name and book title.
2. Write a sentence that introduces who the author of the book is – profession, life experiences that are important. Again, if you use information from a source, you need to quote the source.
3. Write 3 sentences telling what the book is about. Define important terms like intuitive decision making or thin slicing in your own words. Focus on chapters 3,4,5.
4. Write 3 sentences explaining why the book is important and why someone should read it.

Malcolm Gladwell’s text Blink addresses the effectiveness of intuitive decision making with which I agree or with which I disagree.

Create the following sentences required below and then put them together into your conclusion paragraph.
A] Write a college level transition and connect it to a restatement of your thesis in different words: DO NOT use in conclusion, to conclude, in sum, in summary, in the end, overall.
B] DO NOT USE Summary. Because we already have a summary paragraph, we are going to make an action oriented conclusion.
1. Gladwell idea [quote sandwich]:
Use a transition and then summarize one of Gladwell’s suggestions for improving intuitive decision making that you have not yet mentioned in your essay:
Use context + a quote to illustrate Gladwell’s suggestion:
Write an explanation sentence on how this idea will improve someone’s decision making:
2. Your idea: Make you own suggestion for improving one’s decision making
Use a transition and then make a suggestion of your own for improving one’s decision making:
The write 2 sentences explaining your suggestion and how it will improve other’s decision making.
3. Make a call to action:
Write 3 sentences encouraging readers to change how they make decision to improve them. You may also make a prediction, give advice, use a quote or ask a question if that works for you.
C] Put all of your sentences together in paragraph form to write your 10-12 sentence conclusion below. Remember the very last sentence to be a sentence in your own words – no quotes or questions.
