Integration Senior Projects – 2014-2015 Research Paper Requirements 3).

Do’s and Don’ts • DON’T just cut and paste paragraphs from your interviews or visitation into your research paper. • DON’T forget to cite information – both in-text and in your Works Cited list – no matter where it comes from! • DO ask yourself: why am I quoting this information? How do I intend to use it? Just say no to cutting and pasting. Integration Choose ONE sub-topic of your Research Paper. For example, if your project is on surfing, you could choose: • Equipment • Lessons • The ideal location Looks ideal to me. Integration REVIEW your materials. Find a quote or relevant passage from each of the following sources: • Your research (books, Web sites, magazines, etc.) • “Yoga is the life-force, the vital energy which flows through and enlivens all our physical systems” (Yoga). Integration REVIEW your materials. Find a quote or relevant passage from each of the following sources: • One of your two interviews • “The hardest part of yoga is when my mind starts complaining.

In order to push past this, I work on controlling my breath, shutting off my mind, and being present” (Bille). “Once a yoga practitioner can fully master his or her breath, then the mastery of mind is within reach” (Sanatan Society). Integration Write a reflection on those combined pieces of information: • “Throughout my practice, I have found that it is very difficult to control my breath. It’s like having to teach my body a whole new way of breathing: in through the nose, raising the chest and breathing through the belly, then exhaling, contracting the stomach and forcing the breath out.” “Yoga is the life-force, the vital energy which flows through and enlivens all our physical systems” (Yoga). “The hardest part of yoga is when my mind starts complaining. In order to push past this, I work on controlling my breath, shutting off my mind, and being present” (Bille). “Once a yoga practitioner can fully master his or her breath, then the mastery of mind is within reach” (Sanatan Society). Integration Add your reflection to the information you have assembled so far: • “Yoga is the life-force, the vital energy which flows through and enlivens all our physical systems” (Yoga). • “The hardest part of yoga is when my mind starts complaining. In order to push past this, I work on controlling my breath, shutting off my mind, and being present” (Bille). • “Throughout my practice, I have found that it is very difficult to control my breath. It’s like having to teach my body a whole new way of breathing: in through the nose, raising the chest and breathing through the belly, then exhaling, contracting the stomach and forcing the breath out.” • “Once a yoga practitioner can fully master his or her breath, then the mastery of mind is within reach” (Sanatan Society). Integration • Now add transitions and explanations to allow the informational elements you’ve assembled to flow together. Integration In yoga, breathing gives us strength. It is “the life-force, the vital energy which flows through and enlivens all our physical systems” (Yoga). Calmness in the mind helps create a stress-free environment, important for yoga practices. In Cathy Bille’s opinion, the hardest part of yoga is when her mind starts complaining. In order to push past this, she “works on controlling [her] breath, shutting off [her] mind, and being present” (Bille). Throughout my practice, I have found that it is very difficult to control my breath. Sometimes I get so caught up in getting the right pose that I forget to breathe. It’s like having to teach my body a whole new way of breathing: in through the nose, raising the chest and breathing through the belly, then exhaling, contracting the stomach and forcing the breath out. Once I can fully master my breath, “then the mastery of mind is within reach” (Sanatan Society). Only then can I confidently call myself a yoga master. Now it’s your turn! • Write a paragraph (using butcher paper) discussing your subtopic and integrating the information you’ve assembled. • You have the tools – you just have to put them together!
