ARTH 334 - Outline and Resources

Final Essay Stage- Outline and Resources

Bottom of Form

You must turn in an outline and a list of resources for your project no later than the end of week five.

1. Use either an Alphanumeric Outline, a Decimal Outline, or a sentence hierarchical outline.

2. The list of resources you expect to use includes website, books and films. This should be in the form of an Annotated Bibliography and include at least 5-7 references that are applicable to your chosen topic. At least one of your references should come from a peer reviewed academic journal or website.

3.  As you prepare for the Outline of your Final Paper, here are some things to keep in mind:

· Wherever you are in your writing process, it's important to remember that you're trying to show me what you've learned in the course.

· Make observations and connections and integrate vocabulary and concepts we're learning

· Think about the organization. Simply listing the elements in the assignment prompt is not an outline

· The thesis statement is the most important part of the outline HOW TO WRITE AN A+ THESIS STATEMENT

· I would like to see a full sentence outline. The more complete your work is now, the more helpful and substantive my feedback can be

· I look forward to seeing how your work is developing!

· You should plan to spend about more time on this stage of the assignment (research and outline) than on the final stage of the assignment (rough draft and polish).
