HW Due Wednesday, 9/24/2014: Writing an Introduction

Choose ONE of the texts we’ve read so far: “How To Tame A Wild Tongue,” “Names/Nombres,” or one of the bilingual poems.
Respond to the following question in relation to your chosen text: How could the text be read and interpreted differently by two different readers?"
Your first 1-2 sentences are an intriguing, interesting statement or question (not the prompt itself) related to your topic and thesis statement. You may choose to complete this piece last, but make sure it is at the beginning of your introduction.
Your introduction includes the name of the author and title of the work you are going to discuss in the paper in the order in which you are going to discuss them.
The final sentence(s) of your introduction is/are your thesis statement, or claim, about the texts you discuss that also relays the general structure of your paper.

** Remember, a thesis statement is something you can argue for or against.***
