Intro Paragraph


Read the introduction paragraph to an essay.  Respond:

What does this author do when writing his introduction?  What elements does he include?

Physical education is required in every American high school and for a good reason too. Many kids argue that P.E. classes aren’t important. These claims are false and are an example of the laziness of today’s youth. There are many reasons why physical education should be required, but perhaps the most important are that P.E. is good for one’s health, it teaches students about exercise and nutrition, it helps relieve stress, and it helps students develop healthy habits that they can use now and in the future.
