Introductory paragraph
The main point of the introductory paragraph is to introduce the reader to what the essay will be about.
Introduction is the beginning of the essay were you introduce your topics and the body is where you explain your topics in detail. The introduction tells your readers where you are going to go. The body of the essay is actually getting there. (And the conclusion, which you didn't ask about, tells your readers where you've been.)
Beginning in grade school students are normally asked to write essay papers. The basic structure of the essay contains an introductory paragraph, the body of the essay, and a closing. Some essay structures may also call for a thesis prior to the introductory paragraph.
The introductory sentence is usually the open sentence of the paragraph. This sentence is what captures the reader's interest and leads him into the topic of the paragraph. The introductory sentence is usually followed by the topic sentence.
