Step Four: Planning Your Introduction In this section of the organizer, you will plan your own introduction based on the prompt in the lesson. You may refer to the sample introduction from the lesson if needed. Using the claim and counterclaim you have developed in steps 2 and 3, plan your introduction below. Hook: I strongly believe that Brutus should be considered as a betrayer. Bridge: Brutus went to such an extent that he stabbed his own friend at his back. Counterclaim: Whereas, there are other people who also consider Brutus as a patriot rather than a betrayer. Bridge with transition: Brutus did all these betrays just for the sake of saving Rome. But he could have also saved the city in many other ways and would have not chosen to stab his friend from at his back. Claim: If Brutus really had friendship values, he would have planned and executed them in different ways or thoughts. Step Five: Writing Your Introduction Copy and paste your sentences from the plan in step four into paragraph format here. Read your completed paragraph to yourself and add transitions and domain-specific words to make your introductory paragraph flow from one idea to the next. I strongly believe that Brutus should be considered as a betrayer. Brutus went to such an extent that he stabbed his own friend at his back. Whereas, there are other people who also consider Brutus as a patriot rather than a betrayer. Brutus did all these betrays just for the sake of saving Rome. But he could have also saved the city in many other ways and would have not chosen to stab his friend from at his back.
