Q Summary paragraph (Paragraph #1) • Topic sentence/introductory sentence = General summary statement that identifies the title of the TED Talk and the full names of the speakers and provides a big picture understanding of what the talk is about. Includes the year the talk was given for APA citation purposes. • Length = Approximately ½ of a page, not to exceed ¾ of a page (not including the heading or assignment title) • Content = In your words, identify the most important content from the Bjorks’ talk. Remember to change the order and combinations of information significantly from the original talk. Changing just the words is called word substitution, and that isn’t enough to avoid plagiarism. • Links/Transitions between one sentence and the next (and one idea and the next) • Concluding sentence(s) + transition to the topic of the second paragraph
