By 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 4/7, submit the draft of your introduction, and a detailed outline for your essay, as a pdf, properly formatted in the MLA format. If the spirit moves you, and you feel the need to crank out a draft, you go right ahead, but make sure to generate an outline first.

Well, let’s start with the fundamentals. Many of you know that you need to beef up your research on your group to establish the profile, the common factors, and the causality–the motivating factors that lead these folks to cling to their false beliefs. You also need to take a closer look at the sources I am requiring (Beck, Schulz, and Phelps-Roper) to see how, and where, you can use them throughout your essay.
In your introduction, and perhaps in the paragraphs that follow your introduction, you will need to set up the overarching topic of wrongness to clarify the focus of your essay for your reader. Do not dive directly into your group. Instead, use relevant information from the sources I have required to set up the topic. Please take another look at both the assignment for Essay #2 and the strong model for Essay #2, the essay written by Alyssa Ponsones, both of which are on the Modules page.
Then, generate a very detailed outline, in which you chronicle how you will organize your material, point by point, in a very organized manner, clarifying how you will focus your paragraphs, all the way through to your conclusion. Note how you will use your sources and mine, throughout your essay.
