"The Curious Researcher" pgs 165-192

5 points that I find user friendly:

1. Exercise 4.2

2. Writing Multiple Leads/Exercise 4.3

3. "Your opening is your first chance to capture your reader's attention. But how you begin your research paper will also have a subtle yet significant impact on the rest of it."

4. "The first part-the lead, the beginning-is the hardest part of all to write."

5. "Leads must be sound. They should never promise what does not follow. Leads, like titles, are flashlights that shine down into the story."
