Title of Paper
Remember to not write in first person. One of the skills of a leader is the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. Introductory paragraph and purpose statement. This should provide your readers with their initial impressions of your argument, your writing style, and the overall quality of your work. A vague, disorganized, error-filled, off-the-wall, or boring introduction will probably create a negative impression. On the other hand, a concise, engaging, and well-written introduction will start your readers off thinking highly of you, your analytical skills, your writing, and your paper. Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper. Your introduction conveys a lot of information to your readers. You can let them know what your topic is, why it is important, and how you plan to proceed with your discussion. Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: GRADING RUBRIC: Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization's leadership team, addressing the selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting.
****The introductory paragraph is about the paper overall. For instance, if your paper is about nurse staffing, then the introductory paragraph would provide the national statistics about nurse staffing**** The purpose statement is written after completion of the introductory paragraph. A purpose statement is a declarative sentence which summarizes the specific topic and goals of a document. It is typically included in the introduction to give the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the document will cover and what he/she can gain from reading it. To be effective, a statement of purpose should be specific and precise - not general, broad or obscure, concise - one or two sentences, clear - not vague, ambiguous or confusing, and goal-oriented - stated in terms of desired outcomes. ****The purpose statement is graded separately and needs to be complete and concise with only these four requirements**** Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: GRADING RUBRIC A clear and comprehensive purpose statement and introduction is provided which delineates all required criteria.
