Part 1: Example Passages
Example Passage 1
Integrate the quotation into the passage as if the passage is a sentence in your research paper. Include appropriate transitions as well as APA-formatted in-text citations and reference. Delete elements of the passage or quotation as needed.
• Passage: Some might argue that traditional good looks are not an indication of a person’s real attractiveness.
• Quotation: “The philosophical dimension of beauty does not depend on the limits of the physical world; true beauty far exceeds our earthly bounds.”
• Reference: Roger McMichaels. A Deeper Look at Beauty. New York: Graymark, 1995. The quoted material is taken from page 22.
Integrated passage
“Traditional beauty, as it may be argued by the philosophical dimension, is not based on or an indication of a person’s real attractiveness and is not based on the physical world limitation; rather, true beauty far exceeds our earthly bounds” (Rogers, 1995).

Example Passage 2
Integrate this quotation into the passage in a different way than you integrated the first passage and quotation. Include appropriate transitions as well as APA-formatted in-text citations and reference. Delete elements of the passage or quotation as needed.
• Passage: By examining beauty on a merely superficial level, some would argue that we miss out on the larger questions in life.
• Quotation: “We must consider the intersection between perception and expectation: can what is there possibly be understood by what we see?”
• Reference: Roger McMichaels. A Deeper Look at Beauty. New York: Graymark, 1995. The quoted material is taken from page 96.
Integrated passage
Before examining beauty on a merely superficial level, “we must consider the intersection between perception and expectation” and ask ourselves whether “what is there can possibly be understood by what we see” (Roger, 1995).

Example Passage 3
Integrate this quotation into the passage in a different way than you integrated the other two passages. Include appropriate transitions as well as APA-formatted in-text citations and reference. Delete elements of the passage or quotation as needed.
• Passage: It has been said that there are those who watch and those who act.
• Quotation: “Involving our senses at every level, the re-perception of experiences can keep us from encountering physical phenomenon as they occur in time; in other words, watching what we do can sometimes prevent us from actually doing it.”
• Reference: Roger McMichaels. A Deeper Look at Beauty. New York: Graymark, 1995. The quoted material is taken from page 45.
Integrated passage
Some watch while others act, however, as Roger(1995) asserts, the “involving our senses at every level, the re-perception of experiences can keep us from encountering physical phenomenon as they occur in time…watching what we do can sometimes prevent us from actually doing it.”

Part 2: Sources for Your Research Paper
• Select two sources from your annotated bibliography that you did not use for the Week Three assignment.
• Summarize and paraphrase the contents of the two sources, with the intention of using them in your rough draft. Include at least one direct quotation from each source, and include in-text citations for all sources to avoid potential plagiarism.
• Identify how you plant to integrate these sources into your rough draft.
Source 1
Summary, with direct quotation and in-text citation:
In The Human Cost of the War in Iraq, Gilbert et al. (2006) offer American and Iraqi health researcher findings based on a survey of 1,800 random households between January 2002 and July 2006 as a result of U.S involvement in the war. The authors found out that “the post-invasion excess death” that happened between March 2003 and April 2004 accounted for “2.6 deaths/1,000/year.”
Paraphrase, with direct quotation and in-text citation:
Presented in The Human Cost of the War in Iraq, a study dated January 2002 to July 2006 by a team of American and Iraqi health researchers surveying 1,800 homes after the U.S was involved in the battle deduced that in the period March to April 2004, there were “2.6deaths/1,000/year” (Gilbert et al. 2006).
How do you plan to integrate these sources into your rough draft?
Summarizing main ideas,and using transitions to give quotations. Also, by using in-text citation of the source.
Source 2
Summary, with direct quotation and in-text citation:
As reported in The Human Cost of the War in Iraq, 654, 965 deaths resulted from the war. After the war ended in July 2006, there were also 601,027 deaths primarily violent deaths. Non-violent deaths in 2006 were higher than before US invaded in March 2003. Based on the research, 2.5% deaths were higher than if U.S didn’t invade, “5.6deaths/1,000/year” between May 2004 and May 2005 and “14.2 deaths/1,000/year” between June 2005-June 2006” (Gilbert et al. 2008).
Paraphrase, with direct quotation and in-text citation:
The Human Cost of the War in Iraq reveal that 654,965 people perished in the battle. 601,027 more lives were lost following the end of the battle in July 2006, “5.6deaths/1,000/year” in May 2004-May 2005”, also, “14.2deaths/1,000/year” in June 2005-June 2006 (Gilbert et al. 2008). Lives lost in non-violent acts exceeded those prior to the U.S involvement in the war in March 2003. The research team found out an increment of deaths by 2.5% compared to if U.S wasn’t involved in the war.
How do you plan to integrate these sources into your rough draft?
By using transitions to introduce quotes, summarizing the main points, paraphrasing, and using in-text citation.
