Essay progress- Introduction

In my original introduction I repeated the research question, I don't think this is needed and gets the essay off to a repetitive and messy start. I have also not introduced the practitioners and theorists in in my first draft, I think I should refer to them briefly as a way to introduce they to the reader and to clearly explain what they are about to read. The introduction should

- briefly introduce the reader to the aim of the essay
- introduce the reader to the practitioners and theorists that make up the research
- give an overview of the layout of the essay to make it easier to understand
