Take a look at a sample attention getter that would support your thesis statement. there are 5 types of attention getters but we are going to focus on using just 1 type for this writing practice. let’s figure out how to identify quotes that would be useful ways to approach getting the attention of your audience. if i were writing an essay about dogs being superior to cats, for example, i might look for a quote about a dog being man’s best friend. if i were writing about the intricate workings of the brain, i might look for a quote about how men think. whatever i choose, i need to find some way to show that it is relevant to the rest of the essay throughout my paper. i will do this through transitions and a lead in to my thesis statement, which we will work on next. for today, find 5 quotes that might go with 5 thesis statements. here are the thesis statements i gathered: it is very interesting how the human brain weighs about 3 pounds. it is incredibe how the total amount of oxygen and blood that goes to the brain is only 20%. it is very useful in dangerous matter to know that the stop of blood circulation after eight seconds to the brain causes it to loose consciousness. it is so facinating how we grow older we are unable to remember new things because the brain is unable to filter and remove old memories. it's amazing how the human brain has 100 billion neurons.
