February 23: Intro Workshop

1. Did the writer’s interesting fact interest you? Why? Did you know it already? Will your blog’s audience know it? Will they find it interesting?

2. Compare the author’s original introduction with the revised introduction (you may need to play back the wave to see the original). Which one grabs your attention more quickly and effectively?

3. Point out any “to be” verbs or prepositional phrases that you notice. Try to re-write those sentences without them.
