Week 1: Leadership lessons from santa claus
This week’s assignment involves a case study from which you will create a 3-5-page analytical essay. The page count does not include the title and reference page(s).
The essay requirements are:
Requirement 1.
Integrate information from the case and two or three other credible sources. One of the credible sources must be a peer-reviewed journal article. All sources should be less than ten years old.
Recommendation Preparation Step for Each Peer Reviewed Source. This week’s assignment will require the use of three additional credible sources—one of which must be a peer-reviewed journal article. The ability to write an introductory paragraph about a peer-reviewed journal article demonstrates the ability to grasp and articulate its contents. The purpose of the introduction paragraph is to articulate the main topic of the article, provide a thesis statement, and mention of the topics covered by the article.
To prepare, find at least one peer-reviewed journal article (from LIRN or another database) you wish to cite in the essay. Skim the article and notice that the article likely has a lengthy introduction. Afterward, break down the introduction into its components and rebuild the introduction into a single paragraph using your own words. (The paragraph should have at least four sentences.)
Then, when reading the article, refer back to your one-paragraph introduction use it to ensure you capture the main points of the article while reading. This handy trick will keep you mindful of an article’s contents while working on an assignment.
Requirement 2.
The essay must be analytical. This means your essay should offer an argument (or claim) about the sources you are analyzing. Therefore, you will need to ground your essay using a thesis statement (serving as a claim) and then build an argument supporting the claim.
Requirement 3.
Your essay should have:
(a) and introduction containing the claim;
(b) body paragraphs providing an argument supporting the claim using cited evidence and vital information; and
(c) a conclusion drawing together all the points supporting your claim. Remember to use APA level headings, as needed.
The essay needs to be APA-formatted and you must cite/reference all sources.
