Multi-disciplinary Integrated Task

Choose a single topic of your interest in research, then write one paragraph with 10-15 sentences about
it using one or more patterns of development in writing. Indicate under the paragraph the purpose/s
and pattern/s of development used. Search for 3-5 references on Google Scholar. A reference list using
the APA format must also be presented to acknowledge the information that you used in your
paragraph.

Please follow this format:

(One paragraph with 10-15 sentences)

Pattern/s used: _______________________________________________________________________

Purpose/s: ___________________________________________________________________________

List of References used (APA format): _____________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________

This is to be accomplished by group, considering your groupmates in your Research subject. Submit your
work in the text entry box. Bear in mind that your work will be scanned for plagiarism. Plagiarized work
will not be honored. Deadline for submission is on October 5, 2020.

Reminders when citing references:

 Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each
work.

 All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch
from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
