This looks well prepared. Excellent analysis and the support sounds like it would have been persuasive. You miss a couple of format requirments for outlining. Need captial A, B and Cs. Also if you have an "A" you MUST have a "B" -- otherwise there is no need for the subbordination and you could include the "A" point in the heading above. In other words, you only need an "A" if a "B" follows it.
ReplyDeleteEmma, I don't see the bibliography for 6 sources. This is essential part of the assignment and I can't give you a grade for the outline without it.
ReplyDeleteOK, then now you have an A on the outline. When you cite the Bible better to give the chapter and book of the Bible you use since you didn't use the whole bible in your speech.
