Writing tips and techniques
Your paper should have an opening paragraph containing an opening statement. Ex. (Do not use) “An important aspect of opening and maintaining a business, large or small, is the ability to secure adequate financing.”
Your opening paragraph should then go on to tell the reader what lies ahead in your paper. Ex. In this paper we briefly describe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We will then look at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We will also explore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We will conclude with an examination of xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and a look at some of the types of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx currently in use today.
Each section of your paper should be clearly delineated. Ex. Your Ist section should look something like:
Section One (For illustration only. Do not name your 1st section “Section One”)
Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, Text body, etc.
