There are two parts to this discussion:

Integrating source material via a quote and a paraphrase; and
Sharing some possible types of visual elements that might be useful in your paper.

Integrating Source Materials (Quote and Paraphrase)
Here you are going to practice integrating source material.  Find a quote you like and get the complete citation for it.  Follow the instructions below, noting that both sections ask for a signal phrase to introduce the source material.  Both parts require appropriate in-text citation in the style you are using.

Following the “sandwich technique” described in this week’s required reading, post a direct quotation from one of your sources as it would appear within the body of your research paper. Be sure that you introduce your quote with a signal phrase, provide some commentary for the quote, and include the appropriate in-text citations for your documentation style. Follow the source material with closing commentary or analysis to link it to your thesis/purpose.
Next, paraphrase the same quotation and use a signal phrase and closing commentary to demonstrate how the paraphrase would appear in your research paper; include an in-text citation in the documentation style you are using for your paper. Be sure to label which documentation style you are using and include the appropriate bibliography entry as the source will appear on your works cited, reference, or bibliography page.  It is best to avoid large block quotes for this assignment, since the goal is to integrate the quote into your writing.  Simply inserting a large, indented block quote does not necessarily demonstrate that integration skill.

When you respond to peers about integrating source materials, please look for their addressing all elements of the assignment, including the signal phrase, direct quote and in-text citation for the quotation and the signal phrase, closing commentary, and in-text citation for the paraphrase.  Provide feedback on how the paraphrase reflects the content of the original. 
Sharing Visual Element Ideas
After reading the materials in this and previous lessons, including Thonney’s traits of academic writing and this piece from the reading list, Visuals Help You Communicate), share two (2) ideas for visual elements that might be helpful in your research paper. Try to be as specific as possible. You may not find exactly the right pieces to add visual interest to your paper, but try to find some that might be similar to what you could use.  You can share them as links or attachments.
When you respond to peers about visual elements, give constructive feedback about their ideas. Refer to the readings and the lesson as you think about criteria for evaluating these sources. If you have some other suggestions, feel free to share other examples.  This is an opportunity to be a sharing, collaborative community.

My paper is on Transportation and Logistics management. A picture of a 18 wheeler truck would be a perfect visual image in my explanation

Assignment 3: Research Paper: Case Study      (Value: 35 points; Due Week 5)
Create your own ethical case study based on your experiences and readings. You can use either your chosen professional area or a situation at the national or global level as the setting for this paper.  In your paper, include the following:
Introduction: research the literature on ethics and leadership and provide the following:

Rationale for the case study: Describe the reason for the case that you present (Why is the topic relevant? How does it expand or contribute to a leader’s knowledge about ethics?). Document your comments with appropriate related references.

Case study: Provide a narrative with the case study topic that you identified. Include the following:

Setting: Briefly describe the setting
Situation: Describe the situation.
Impact: State how it affects the organization and whether it affects people inside or outside the organization. If the situation is from your own organization, be sure to use pseudonyms to maintain confidentiality at all times.

Ethical stance: clearly describe why the case/situation poses an ethical challenge for an organization.

References: Use appropriate documentation to support your narrative.
Handout: Provide a one-page handout summarizing the case. Include as an appendix to your paper.

1.Reflect on your weight over the past year or so and explain any weight gains or losses. Using the Intake vs. Goals report, can you identify areas in which you need to adjust your food intake, perhaps eating more or less? Describe the potential risks and possible benefits of fad diets and over-the- counter weight-loss drugs or herbal supplements. (500 words minimum) 2. Which of your foods provided high intakes of vitamins? Which of your foods provided few or no vitamins? How was your overall intake in the vegetable group? Do you need improvement in this area? If so, what are some changes you could make? Examine your weekly choices of vegetables and evaluate whether you meet the recommendations for dark green or orange and deep yellow vegetables. Take a look at your sodium intake in this report. Most people in the United States exceed the UL. Did you? Explain the importance of selecting and pre- paring foods with less salt. How was your intake of calcium for that day?If you are not getting enough calcium, consult Chapter 12 for ideas to help you get more, then list at least three foods or beverages you would be willing to eat or drink that would improve your intake. (500 words minimum)33. Samuel is a 63-year-old single man who works full-time in a food processing plant. He has a history of esophageal cancer which was treated successfully with anti-cancer drugs and surgery four years ago. His weight had been stable at 135 pounds until the past 6 months, in which he has experienced an involuntary weight loss of 10 pounds. He is 67 inches tall and his current BMI is 19.5. He complains of a poor appetite and being overly weak and tired. His usual diet is fairly consistent. He states he rarely eats breakfast because he starts work at 6 a.m. He eats two deli meat sandwiches, “usually pastrami or salami,” and a soda at 10 a.m. and may eat a candy bar in the afternoon when he gets off work. He often prepares frozen dinners or pizza at home in the evening and routinely drinks “about 2 or 3 beers” before going to bed. Occasionally he will cook a roast and mashed potatoes. He occasionally will have milk with cereal but rarely eats vegetables or fruit. He would like to know which vitamin supplement will give him energy.From what you have learned about the functions of vitamins, how would you answer Samuel’s question?What are some indications that Samuel’s diet could be low in thiamin?Using information from Figure 10-4, what are one or two good sources of thiamin from each food group that would be fairly easy for Samuel to add to his diet?What other vitamins would you suspect might be deficient in Samuel’s diet? Why?Besides his diet, how might Samuel’s medical history have increased his risk for folate deficiency?Based on his medical history and information in this chapter, how would you advise Samuel regarding his complaints of fatigue and weight loss?Would you recommend a daily multivitamin supplement for Samuel based on the history he has provided? Why or why not?
