SO… BACK to chocolate!

Sorry!!!

A little-known fact…

Did you know that?!

(By the way, there are resources about the

Opening Sentence on page 60 of your manual!

Flip to it!)

Can you find all the elements of an opening sentence here?

According to Forbes (2020), Americans consume an average of 11 pounds of chocolate per person per year.

Hint: here are the elements: • a surprising, disturbing, little-known, or

wonderful fact • a statistic • an in-text citation

Wait!

I found it, but I don’t know how to DO it!

In-text citations!

In-text citations need

Who wrote it When

Two ways to cite: (p. 33-38 in manual)

author names are part of the sentence (narrative format)

author names and date of publication are not part of the sentence

(parenthetical format)

Remember….

Who wrote it When

Examples

One Author Research by Smith (2004) found… Recent research (Smith, 2004) found…

Two Authors Research by Wager and Petty (1994) found… Paraphrased material (Wager & Petty, 1994).

Which way of citing is used here?

According to Forbes (2020), Americans consume an average of 11 pounds of chocolate per person per year.

Now YOU write an opening sentence on YOUR topic.

This will open your research paper!

Expect to spend 20-40 minutes on this one sentence!!! Surprising, but true!!
