High impact start, Lead-in materials, Signposts
– a suggested
sequence for material needed in the introductory part of a chapter
(or possibly of a long section). A 
high impact start
engages readers’
attention (see above). It is followed by any framing or set-up text,
lead-in material
needed to situate the analysis to come. The 
signposts
briefly point forward to the sequence of topics in the main sections
of the chapter (or in the body of a large section). [pp. 91–7]
