In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the touchstone.
Choosing a Topic
For the informative paragraph, be creative and choose a topic that you already know something about. (You do not need to conduct any research for this paragraph.) Be sure to write in an objective and non-biased manner with your intended audience and purpose in mind. You may write about any topic you wish that you know something about, however; below are some sample topics that may help you get started.
The background, history, or rules of a particular game or sport
The materials, tools, background or approach for a hobby you enjoy
The action/process for an activity such as driving, planting a garden, grilling a steak, etc.
The history of a place that you know a lot about (a city, state, natural attraction, etc.)
A scientific process or concept that you are very familiar with
For the descriptive paragraph, use sensory language and vivid details to describe a person, a place or a thing. Sensory details describe how something looks, sounds, feels, smells or tastes. You should use precise language to show rather than tell about what you are describing. Be sure to write with your intended audience and purpose in mind. What you write about is entirely up to you as long as you use vivid details and sensory language to bring the description to life. However, below are some sample topics that may help you get started.
Describe a room in your house
Describe your favorite spot to spend time
Describe a person who is special to you
Describe a meal that you enjoy eating or cooking
Describe a unique family tradition

you will be writing an argumentative essay on a topic of your choice. The topic you choose must be debatable and you must take a clear stand on one side of the issue.

Sources and Citations
You are required to use at least two outside sources as evidence for your argument. The sources an author uses can either build or degrade his/her credibility.

As a general rule of thumb- online sources that end in .edu, .gov or .org are usually more reliable than websites that end in .com. However, online news sources or online encyclopedias are credible sources as well. See the tutorials on credible research and research citation linked in the helpful tutorials section below for a reminder on how to properly cite sources in APA style and how to find online sources that are credible.

What have you learned about research at an introductory level?
How do you evaluate or critique this from a biblical, Christian perspective?
These two questions above are deliberately not written as level one headings in APA formatting the way they appear above, however, a good way to organize your document would be to use these two ideas as appropriately written level one headings. Add additional levels of headings as appropriate to organize your content.
You will use the APA skills that you honed, the case study skills you developed in, and all the content you studied throughout all the this course. Current APA format needs to be demonstrated in all aspects of this assignment. Proper APA formatting is required as part of the content of this assignment.

Required references include your Introduction to Research textbook and the Publication Manual, and at least two additional scholarly references. You may also include additional content-related sources you would like to include that are part of what you learned in this course this term.
