Need help

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

I need someone to check my introductory sentence, and tell me if it's looks good.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

I'm writing a paragraph about, informational text.

Directrix (directrix):

Where is your introductory sentence? And, what is your thesis statement for the essay?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

I have to write a persuasive paragraph on, informational text.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

I have to write a persuasive paragraph on this, What is the most important feature of the informational text when it comes to helping students understand the information in a text book.

Directrix (directrix):

I don't know what this is: ---> informational text. At least, I don't know what it is by that name.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

This is my introductory sentence, There is many types of informational text, but the most important type of informational text when it comes to helping students understand the information in a text book is the table of contents.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Directrix (directrix):

In this writing, what are you planning to persuade people to do?

Directrix (directrix):

Okay, and what is your basis for saying that the Table of Contents is better informational text than, say, the Index topics of the book, or the Glossary of the book?

Directrix (directrix):

The table of contents gives a holistic view of the entire text. It provides a framework for a student's thinking about the various topics of the text and how they fit together. The book index is helpful but only so after a student has begun studying from the text and needs particular information.

Directrix (directrix):

No. Those are just thoughts that came to mind. Hold on a moment.

Directrix (directrix):

Among the forms of information text, the most critical and important is the book's table of contents. The table of contents gives a holistic view of the entire text. It provides a framework for a student's thinking about the various topics of the text and how they fit together. Other forms of informational text such as the book's index is helpful but only so after a student has begun studying from the text and needs particular information.

Directrix (directrix):

Okay, now, the editing of that rough draft of an introductory paragraph is your task. Be sure to adhere to the guidelines for the paragraph. @Mindblast3r

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, just add your touch to it. You stated the most important information text component, told why it IS the most important (the proof statement) and then finished the paragraph.
