For Monday, compose an essay on Emotional Intelligence. The essay should . . .





Define the concept (as if you are explaining it to someone who is completely unfamiliar with the
term. Think about some of the things you learned from the Talent Smart article and the
Goleman interview.)
o IF you use a published definition, verbatim, it will have to be documented
appropriately, with quotations marks, parenthetical citation, and a works cited entry for
your source.
Include the documented summary of the Talent Smart web site’s article, appropriately placed in
the essay in order to support your thesis—not just shoved in because it is a requirement for the
assignment.
Show that you understand the concept through your analysis of a situation in which E.I was
evident or the lack of E.I. is obvious (situations, perhaps at your workplace, at home, in social
settings); OR on television (e.g., a news analysis program, a favorite TV show); OR from a video.
Tell how you can apply E.I. in situations—or better in a specific situation, such as at your
workplace—now that you understand it.
Document any source that you use for the essay (TV show, Goleman video, etc.) with an in-text
citation and the correct works cited entry.
