This document is the foundation for your prepatory outline and for your essay. Save it to your computer with an appropriate name, such as Jones.Samantha_Outline. Complete and submit the completed outline for the Week 4 Course Project Introduction and Outline assignment. When you are ready to draft your essay, save a copy of your outline document with a new name, such as Jones.Samantha_Essay. Then turn your brief outline entries into essay sentences and paragraphs. Easy! Be sure to replace all instructional content with your own writing.
For Week 4, write your introduction paragraph in place of these instructional paragraphs, then use the body sections outlined below as a structure for your own project outline. Be sure to cite sources. End the document with a references list including full APA reference citations.
Include the following in your introduction paragraph.
· One surprising or significant fact you can use to hook your readers and motivate them to read further
· Your subject technology, with a brief description of the tech and its applications
· Why this research and recommendation are necessary
· Why your intended audience should take time to consider your recommendations
· Your primary ethical approach, including the ethical theory and its applicability
· Your overall thesis statement, including your specific and actionable recommendations
Use the suggested structure below as a guide to develop your own concise and clear outline. This will be a driving roadmap for your draft. Tips:
· Keep the six major sections, but feel free to adjust all other details.
· You don’t need to worry about formal outlining with Roman numbers and such; you may use numbering, or bullets, or simply indent to show major points, sub-points, and supporting details.
· Add lines to include as much detail as you can, but be efficient. Write only brief ideas on each line. Don’t take the time to write any complete sentences.
· Refer back to your research notes for supporting details and citations. Include specific source citations in each part of the outline as often as possible! The more supporting source information you include now, the easier it will be to draft a credible, ethically researched essay. Citations are a graded part of this assignment.

Week 4: Course Project - Introduction and Outline
Course Project - Introduction and Outline
Our course and course project are not focused on simply celebrating cool new technologies. Rather, our intent is to examine and guide leaders toward ethical, equitable, socially and environmentally responsible continued development, appropriate regulation, and implementation of the technologies we have selected.
Before you can make any recommendations, you'll need to consider your selected technology's current strengths and weaknesses as well as its potential opportunities and threats. This week, you will organize your research on important historical, present, and future aspects of the technology in a detailed, research-supported outline of the recommendation essay you will develop over the coming weeks.
Your project will apply the following six-part structure.
· Introduction – Establishing a clear focus frames the argument, establishes the writer's ethos, shows relevance for the intended audience, and presents the writer's overall thesis
· Historical Context - Examining history, including important events, controversies, and actions, provides insights on our current situation
· Current Situation - Looking beyond the shiny marketing helps us see both positive and negative implications for individual and groups of stakeholders.
· Future Implications and Needs - Seeing potential opportunities and threats sets the stage for recommendations.
· Recommendations - Providing practical, insightful, detailed recommendations can help your audience of powerful, profit-oriented influencers address underlying ethical issues, leading to longer term benefits for all stakeholders.
· Conclusion - Capturing key points concisely prepares readers to take action.
