Re-imagining the Background Paragraphs

You can select from some of the information below to share with your audience. Try to consider what might be the best way to present it to your audience.

Think of what you need to tell your audience to help them understand your points of argument.

-Brief summary of the story

-Setting, characters, timeframe

-Or, rather than summary, a brief synopsis of the story

-Inform us of any definitions

-Is there any other material we need to understand to follow your argument
