Draft of introduction

Draft of introduction

In today's post I will work to show the draft of my introduction. I read more about about the types of introductions in a book for journalists.

These are:

                                             Types of introduction - (Hicks, 2016)

Two of the intros that I was interested was narrative and anecdote. To quote Hicks "the narrative style should begin with dramatic moment in the story and name their main character" (Hicks, 2016). I decided to use narrative introduction because I think this type of my introduction will work well to catch readers attention and engage the reader as well. Also we can show a real story, real example - in this case, the story of a miner. 

I will use parts of the story and implement them to my article, for example I would like to add it to the introduction of my article to make it more personal. I will begin with a narrative story. I would like to start with description of situation, and I also give the name the character of the story. I think my first sentence should catch the readers attention well. That is very important

I started to write an article using narrative introduction. Here is the draft of my intro:

This is the final outcome. I hope you like it.

Also I would like to use some quotes from my in interview and add them to my article as a 'pull quotes' to make it more interesting and honest.
