I'm including the materials I created for a workshop I facilitated yesterday at the American Center here in Moscow. The topic was: Introductions and Conclusions (for English for Academic Purposes Essay Writing). That last part is important. This workshop, along with the workshop I did in October on the PIE-C structure for body paragraphs, deal with academic writing. Also, it should be noted that, even within the field of academic writing, there are many different task types (problem/solution essays, persuasive essays, analysis essays, research papers, literature reviews, IMRD-style scientific articles, proposals, abstracts... the list goes one). The approach to writing introductions and conclusions outlined in this presentation is but one of many.
That being said, feel free to use, adapt and/or ignore any and all of the materials provided. I hope you find something helpful/useful to you!
