Process

I am going to start with the basics.  I want to show the importance of doing the body first then the conclusion second and then the introduction/thesis statement last.  I will show the order that we do them in and explain what they are and why they work.  Next i want to show the reader some of the rhetorical tools we use and why.  I like cause and effect so i will show them that as the first of the tools.  Next i will explain compare and contrast.  I want to give enough detail of the things i am going to teach so that anyone can understand it.  I will probably take some time in explaining about how important knowing an audience is and how that affects the writing.  I don't know if this is all i am going to do but it is all i can think of for now.

Introductions

The importance of an introduction cannot be overstated.  It is one of the most important things in an article.  without an introduction the article feels aimless, it is hard to tell what the article is about.  The introduction is so important because that is usually where the thesis statement is.
        The perfect introduction should have a clearly defined thesis statement without it being too obvious or boring.  It should give a rundown on what the article is going to be about.  And it should set the stage for the rest of the article, hopefully getting the reader involved right away.

Definitions part 2

My first definition is video games.  Video games are a form of entertainment that uses computer graphics to put a controllable image on a screen.  This is usually a character that is being controlled by the player.  The next definition is violence.  Violence is someone using force to hurt another person.  The last definition is gamer. A gamer is a person who plays video games as a hobby.
