Examples:
· GETTING THERE—NEEDS WORK: Here is a section of a body-paragraph that introduces and quotes a source well, but there is no explanation of how that quote relates to the paper. The paragraph simply continues on addressing different aspects of the overall topic.
According to the article “What do we mean by ‘sex’ and ‘gender’?" by the World Health Organization, gender roles are defined as, “A set of social and behavioral norms that are generally considered appropriate for either a man or a woman in a social or interpersonal relationship” (Eisend).Traditionally, men are the ones putting the bread on the table. Women stay home to clean and take care of the children. But this is a new century with new ideas and new technology. These so called “gender roles” are hardly existent now and yet are still focused on so closely today when they shouldn’t be.
· MORE ON TRACK—ACCEPTABLE SANDWICH: Here is a better example that introduces the source, quotes it, and then explains how it is relevant.
[introduces the topic] An ideal option is for the U.S. to work jointly with the U.N. on anti-terrorist drone attacks. [introduces the argument to lead to the source] The U.S. could enjoy many benefits from a relationship with the U.N. for drones. [introduces the source] In article 43 of the U.N. charter, it states one of the primary obligations of the U.N. is to [quotes the source] “maintain or restore international peace and security” (Barrett). [explains how the source is relevant to the overall topic/argument] This article indicates that the U.N. should have an interest in the war on terrorism.
Please keep in mind that the source sandwich method does not constitute the whole paragraph. The body-paragraph consists to additional parts, yet when a source is going to be used, it needs to be set up—within the body-paragraph—in the proper sandwich format.
