Confucianism

The first paragraph of the manuscript is the formal introduction and should forecast the essay.  It consists of four key elements: a hook, thesis statement, supporting sentences, and a transition sentence.  The hook is designed to grab the reader’s attention.  For this assignment, it could be about the impact of Confucianism in modern culture.  Consider using statistics, a brief quote, or anecdote.  The thesis statement is one, declarative statement that reflects the main idea of the entire manuscript; it is the cornerstone of the paper, so give it careful thought.  Supporting sentences prepare the reader for the manuscript by identifying key points to be explored.  Avoid phrases such as, “This paper will discuss…”  A key to successful supporting sentences is to examine the outline of the paper and create two or three sentences that cluster these ideas in a fluid manner.  This paper has three key objectives.  The transition sentence is the hand off to the next paragraph.  For more details about the introduction, as well as an example, visit the Center for Writing Excellence > Tutorials & Guides > Essay Development

References

For this assignment, you need a minimum of five academic sources.  Your textbook is an excellent reference for starters.  Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias are not appropriate academic sources and will not count toward the required minimum of five academic sources.

Notice that entries should be in hanging indent (the reverse of a typical paragraph indentation).  This template is already formatted for hanging indent.  Just click and type; the text will automatically wrap and reflect the correct indentation.

Consider using the Reference and Citation Generator at the Center for Writing Excellence.

Scripture or sacred text of any religion are not considered academic sources and therefore do not count as one of the required five sources.  In academic circles, they are considered literary sources, but not academic.
