I.B. Lit. HL Essay 3: What does your intro paragraph need to do?

3rd video in this series on the HL essay. I look at a sample essay and talk about the qualities of an excellent introductory paragraph.

The sheer joyful face of his fills me with optimism for studying the IB. It's by looking at such people that I have hope that studying and the system as a whole can bring one joy.

I was asked to write a practice hl essay for my Eng Lit class :) These videos are amazing! One thing I always wondered about is ways that one can organise the ideas in an essay other than themes! Thank you so much 😊

Hi Mr Lewandowski, thank you so so much for your help!
at 4:38 you mentioned that the IB published a document of tips, would it be possible for you to share it? or do you know how a student can access it?
