250-254 Guiding your reader

I never really have thought about guiding my reader in while writing my papers, but it is a very important aspect of the text. The audience needs to know what exactly they are reading or listening to and why it is important. I also never pay much attention to my title. In fact to me it used to be one of the least important things of my text. However, it is a vital part. I judge what I want to read based on the title, so why wouldn't other people? Another point for the reader to pay attention to is the thesis statement because it is supposed to sum up your whole text in one sentence. This way, the audience can get a taste of what exactly it is you are trying to get at. I'm very bad at transition sentences, but they are also important in telling your reader what is coming up next and also refreshing their memory on what they just read about.
