Writing Question

The Paper Itself:
This exercise is called a response essay. Looking is not as simple as you may think. Rather than merely describe the object, you will want to analyze its form. You need to ask yourself the questions:

  • “What is this doing? (i.e what associations, ideas or emotions does the work evoke for you)”
  • “Why do you have this response? (i.e. what attributes of this work (lines, colors, subject matter, expressions) evoke those associations, ideas or emotions)”

The challenge is to analyze a work of art, separating its parts in order to understand the whole. You must resist the urge to merely describe, and insteadevaluate the object. Organization of the Paper: (further explanations and examples can be found in the Survival Guide handout)

1. The Introduction.

  • (a) Write a Short Description of the Work You Have Chosen. Include identifying subject matter or forms, setting or space, color, and medium, artist and current location.
  • (b) State Your Main Argument.

Writing Assignment #3

Research Report to a Decision-maker

 Assignment Summary

You must write a Research Report on the topic that you introduced in WA #1, the Proposal Memo, and for which you gathered and reported on and reviewed your research sources in WA #2, the Synthesis Literature Review. Your research report is the culmination of the work you have done with WA #1, the Proposal Memo and WA #2, the Synthesis Literature Review. Your Research Report must be at least 2000 words long. In your Research Report, you will do the following for your readers:

  • define a workplace or community (neighborhood)problem persuasively and accurately.
  • propose one or more possible solutions to the problem or issue.
  • present one or more possible solutions to a clearly identified decision-maker (or group of decision-makers) who can implement the recommendation(s) you make for solving the problem or addressing the issue.

How WA #3, the Research Report relates to WA #1, the Proposal Memo and WA #2, the synthesis Literature Review

 In the Proposal Memo you decided upon a suitable topic (a workplace or community problem and one or more possible solutions) and introduced your topic to a decision maker (or group of decision makers). In the Synthesis Literature Review you gathered research sources about your topic, identified themes related to the topic within your sources, and discussed how the sources related to each other in their treatment of the themes you identified (this is synthesis). Now, in the Research Report, you must present an explanation and discussion of your topic’s problem(s) and why the problem(s) need to be addressed – supported by your research – and offer one or more possible solutions – supported by your research. You will now have identified a problem, researched sources to get expert views about the problem(s). and offered one or more solutions to the problem – supported by research. You will have moved from identifying a problem to research the problem and possible solutions to reporting upon your research and findings to a decision maker.

What are Functional Foods?

Functional foods are foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. For example, foods that claim to give you energy, help you lose weight, improve skin and hair, increase muscles, improve the immune system, slow the aging process, and improve bone health. These foods are often high in probiotics, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and foods that are high in fiber. A familiar example of functional food is oatmeal because it contains soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels. Some foods are modified to have health benefits (cereal, eggs, juice). An example is orange juice that has been fortified with calcium for bone health.

Proponents of functional foods say they promote optimal health and help reduce the risk of disease. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the claims that manufacturers can make about functional foods’ nutrient content and effects on disease, health, or body function. If you want to try functional foods, choose wisely. And keep in mind that while functional foods may help promote wellness, they can’t make up for poor eating habits.

Assignment

1.The student will select one Functional Food to evaluate. (A list has been provided)

2.Use the Cuyamaca College Library Database,https://www.cuyamaca.edu/academics/library/index.p…. Choose two library sources (research study, magazine, or news article) on the functional food.

3.Read your 2 library sources and identify 2 health benefits the food provides.

4.Write a two-page essay, double-spaced, 12 font, and 1-inch margins. Write using an essay format. Write 1 paragraph for each of the 2 benefits you identified about your food. Include an introductory paragraph and a conclusion paragraph. (30 points)

Do not overuse quotations. Be sure to use citations for every quotation. I want you to use your own words. However, even when you paraphrase, you need to use a citation.

YOUR TASK: Your research essay will describe the benefits of functional foods.
