Topic Outline

Note that this DB is worth 60 points; you’re posting your outlines in the DB rather than just submitting them to me because I think it will help you to receive feedback from classmates, and to learn from the work your classmates are doing in their own outlines. If you don’t comment on two classmates’ posts, I will deduct 5 points for each missing reply (10 points total if you don’t reply to anyone’s post). Please be detailed in your comments and give at least two sentences with SPECIFIC ideas/details/questions to help your classmates.

Please post as detailed of an outline as you can–you want to give an idea of the different main points you are going to cover in your paper, and some of the specific sub-points you’ll cover in individual paragraphs within the main sections of your paper. (Your paper won’t have formally separated sections, as in a scientific report, but it helps to think of your paper as having several big “chunks” to it, each chunk being made up of a smaller series of chunks (paragraphs).
