Writing Kick-Arse Intro's- LA edition
The blog should be approached as two sections. The first explains how to use CITCAT to identify everything we need to write a LA Intro. The second explores how we can use the scaffolds and CITCAT, to break them down and put them back together as a kick-arse introduction.
SECTION 1
Scaffolds For Writing An Language Analysis Introduction
Below is a very basic scaffolds that can be used to write a language analysis introduction. It merely provides an outline and template that can be used to write your introduction, you simply need to fill in the gaps.
Note: This is a very basic template that provides you the scaffolds to achieve a satisfactory mark. It is in NO way the only way to write an introduction and it will be expected that you experiment with this template in order later years in order to bring increased complexity to your writing.
Introduction Scaffolds

In (author)’s article(article title) written in the (publication title) on (publication date) it is contended that (outline contention).

Note: This is extremely basic language analysis. Beyond year 10 you are going to have to expand and experiment with this structure. However in year 10,11 and 12 you still need to include the same information. CITCAT. you are just expanding your complexity.
Adding a supplementary (2nd Article)
In year 12 you will receive a second article. This becomes our supplementary article and we will need to introduce this as well. (To make it easier for our body paragraphs)
Introducing secondary articles should be far more brief. You do need to complete the following however.
1. Contextualise the article (Why was it written)
2. Include the important text details
3. outline its purpose
