The Norton Field Guide
Paper instructions:
Using information found in Chapter 30: Beginning and Ending (299-311) in The Norton Field Guide, write a two-paragraph response to the following questions (one paragraph per question):

Of all the ways the chapter suggests that you might use to begin a paper (301-306), which two are the strongest and which two are the weakest?
Of all the ways the chapter suggests that you might use to end a paper (307-309), which two are the strongest and which two are the weakest?

As always, make a clear connection between your opinions and your reasoning/evidence for why you think what you think. This is absolutely vital to academic writing.
