You have been asked to contribute to your quarterly department
newsletter, which includes a regular section on wellness in the workplace. To
prepare for your contribution, you decided to research the benefits of using
emotional intelligence in the workplace. You came across a very good article
that you would like to use for your contribution. This article, entitled “What
Leading With Emotional Intelligence Looks Like,” was written by Carolyn Stern
for the publication Leadership Excellence, a Human Resources magazine.
The article was published in August of 2022, and it was on pages 17 and 18 in
the magazine.
For your contribution to the newsletter, you
will write a five-point summary of the article. Below are steps you can take to
create your summary. You can also use
the SQ3R Method if it is helpful.
1.
Preview the article thoroughly. Note the title, the
first sentences of paragraphs, and any charts or graphs.
2.
Ask yourself some essential questions that you
hope to find the answers to while reading the article.
3.
Read the article carefully. Take time to
highlight, underline, look up words you don’t know, and find the answers to
your essential questions.
4.
Review
the article again to decide
what its five main points are.
5.
Write the five main points in complete sentences on
a separate Word document. The points
should be in your own words and not copied from the article. After listing
these points, write a well-developed summary paragraph that includes them. Make
sure your paragraph is reader-friendly and uses effective transitions as
needed. Again, use your own words for your paragraph.
6.
Since
you used a source for your newsletter contribution, you will need to give
credit to it with an in-text citation at the end of your paragraph, and a separate
references page citation below your summary. You have all the information
needed to credit the source in the directions. We’ll use APA format as a guide to credit the
source in-text and as a references source for the newsletter:
Parenthetical in-text citation: this goes at the end of your paragraph since you are summarizing an
article. When you are summarizing a source in APA
format, you only need to cite the source once in-text if it will be clear to
your readers that this in-text citation refers to your entire paragraph or
section of writing. Use only the year in the in-text citation, even if the references
list entry contains a more specific date. The period goes after the
parenthetical in-text citation rather than after your last summary point.
General parenthetical in-text citation:
(Last name, year, page number or numbers).
Here is an example of how a writer might create a parenthetical in-text
citation for a magazine article:
(Peterzell, 1990, 20-21).
References citation:
this goes after your paragraph and uses the word References, that is centered
and bolded, as its heading. Usually, the references page begins on a separate
page, but for this assignment you may cite your reference below your article
summary.
References
Last name, First initial. (Year, Month). Title of article in sentence case (capitalized
like a sentence–not all capital letters). Title of Magazine in Italics,
page numbers.
Below is an example
how a writer might create a References page for a magazine article. If there is
only one reference, it should still be referred to as the References page.
References
Peterzell, J.
(1990, April). Better late than never. Time,
20–21.
7.
Reflect on the process you used to create this
article summary in a paragraph of at least 75 words. You can consider the Essential
Questions below to help guide you on this reflection. You do not need to cite
the article in-text or as a References page citation in your reflection, as you
have already showcased your APA formatting skills, although you generally would
include these items.
