For your next assignment, you will be writing the introduction and summary of one journal article for your Literature Review. There should be a clear thesis statement within your introduction that includes the purpose of your paper, what your proposed research is going to be about, and a brief overview of how you plan to measure all that. Think about why you chose your topic and what you would like to know more about. Let's say that you've chosen to argue the merits of eating locally grown foods. You will focus your introduction on the positive effects it can have on one's health and the local economy. You also want to dispel the myth that eating locally is more expensive. You will start off with a general idea of what your paper is going to discuss:Farm to table, also known as farm to fork, is where food is sourced from local farms, usually through direct acquisition from a farmer (Smith, 2019). The farm to table movement has gained popularity in the United States over the past several years and offers a way to increase health and support the local economy by making some simple changes to the way individuals and families eat. Although, locally grown foods are frequently criticized for being far more expensive than eating food from global markets. Then you could add some previous research that gives definitions for your terms, like the first sentence that addresses what "farm to table" is. You should also include research that discusses how locally grown food is healthier and supports the local economy. Additionally, you should include some previous research about the cost of eating locally and from global markets. Keep in mind that all of your previous research does not need to be in total agreement with what you think, you can include some opposing views as well. Also, keep in mind these are very brief overviews of the previous research, you will discuss more details in your Literature Review. After you've described the previous research while incorporating a bit of what you think is missing, next you can provide a clear statement to address what you think is missing: While it is evident from the previous research there are many benefits of eating locally grown foods, there is limited research that suggests eating locally can also be cost-effective.Next, will go over your research question: Is buying and eating locally grown food more expensive than food from global markets? Research questions are often better written as a purpose statement rather than a question: The proposed research aims to determine if buying and eating locally grown food is more expensive than food from global markets.Lastly, you will summarize the remaining parts of the paper: The proposed research will look at participants from Bowie, MD within a single person, two people, and three people households. A comparison will be made to what is spent on a grocery trip consisting of food from a global market and food from a locally sourced market. An appropriate statistical analysis and discussions around a supported and rejected hypothesis will also be discussed. Here is another example of an introduction:According to Theall (2017), "Faculty evaluation and development cannot be considered separately ... evaluation without development is punitive, and development without evaluation is guesswork" (p. 91). As the practices that constitute modern programmatic faculty development have evolved from their humble beginnings to become a commonplace feature of university life (Lewis, 1996), a variety of tactics to evaluate the proficiency of teaching faculty for development purposes have likewise become commonplace. These include measures as diverse as peer observations, the development of teaching portfolios, and student evaluations.(the introduction then goes on to summarize the previous literature, while incorporating why the proposed research will be an important contribution) However, while SETs play a crucial role in faulty development and personnel decisions for many education institutions, current approaches to SET administration are not as well-suited to these purposes as they could be. (this states what they feel is missing from the previous research) This paper argues that a formative, empirical approach to teacher evaluation developed in response to the demands of the local context is better suited for helping institutions improve their teachers. (this states the purpose of the purposed research) It proposes a study that will clarify the differences between the Heavilon Evaluation of Teacher, or HET, a new teacher assessment instrument, and the Introductory Composition at Purdue (ICaP) SET, a more traditional instrument, and how the new instrument can strengthen current approaches to faculty development by making them more responsive to teachers' local contexts. (this states what they are proposing to measure, i.e. the independent and dependent variables). The Methods section, which follows, will compare the results of the proposed instrument to the results of a traditional SET. The paper will conclude with a discussion of how the results of the purposed study will inform future iterations of the proposed instrument and, more broadly, how universities should argue for local development of assessments.The summary of the article should include the research question/purpose, what the researchers hypothesized, a brief description of the method including the participants and procedure, an overview of the results, and what the researchers concluded (was their hypothesis supported or rejected). Please do not include minor details that do not add to the understanding of the overall synopsis of the article. On the flip side of that, please do not forget to include major components of the article. Use the Paper Outline to help guide you.
