  • a BRIEF summary of historical context or background
  • a BRIEF overview of the existing scholarship related to your topic/question
  • an explanation of your chapter’s significance. How does your research contribute to the scholarly conversation that you’ve just described?
  • a description of exactly what you will do in this chapter (ie: I will explore my topic by answering the following questions and using the following types of evidence)
  • a clearly articulated argument (the answer to your research question), introduced with an appropriate signal phrase, such as: “In this chapter I argue …” or “This chapter shows how …” or something similar. The argument (aka “thesis statement” in Turabian) generally appears in the last paragraph of the introduction.
