Introduction

Thesis topic: 

+

Thesis opinion: student’s conclusions to date on the ethics, logic, physics (natural science), politics (social science), metaphysics, and epistemology of the topic, as explained through reasons and examples briefly outlined and explained in more detail in the body below

(In essay format, the intro should begin with a general introduction to the topic, then focus on the essay’s specific thesis topic + opinion, and then briefly outline the reasons and research of various sources to be explained in the body as support. For this journal activity, focus on topic+opinion here and reasons/examples below.)

Body (explanation of your reasons for your opinion, supported by research)

• at least 6quotes from Sacks’ River of Consciousness (or alternate online sources while securing text) not previously used, explained with a focus on the ethics, logic, physics (natural science), politics (social science), metaphysics, and epistemology involved
• at least 1 quote from each of 6 sources personally-researched, online or through contact (after reviewing APA ethical standards on research involving human subjects), explained with a focus on the ethics, logic, physics (natural science), politics (social science), metaphysics, and epistemology involved
• at least 4quotes from Goldman’s The Lion in Winter, and 2 quotes from Shakespeare’s Richard III, explained with a focus on the ethics, logic, physics (natural science), politics (social science), metaphysics, and epistemology involved
• at least 6 quotes fromclassmates’ R&J posts of recent weeks, with comparison/contrast, ideas for future study, or other ways of relating your classmate’s ideas to your project explained

Conclusion (not required for this outline)

In essay format, the conclusion should be similar to the intro: it should restate the thesis and summarize the argument in fresh-sounding vocabulary, without introducing any new ideas that need support.

Argumentative essays may end with a call to action, recommending what readers should do after following the argument to the conclusion. Experimental research projects often end with implications for future study, i.e., what more may be done on the subject, both personally and by the broader community. For this outline, focus on the intro and body, as above.
