Organizing an Introduction

  A social science journal article’s introduction “is like a blueprint and a map: it lays out the itinerary of an article’s path of logical travel…and are organized and structured into predictable patterns” (Shon, 2015, p 41). Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following: Refer to The Role of Intuition in the Generation and Evaluation Stages of Creativity article from the University Library and read the introduction. How do the authors organize the introduction? Do the subheadings and discussion of the article follow the ‘blueprint and map’ outlined in the introduction? Reflect on what you have learned about writing an introduction. What might you do differently in writing introductions as you progress through the dissertation process? References Shon, P. C. (2015).
