Topic 1: Create a Thesis and Outline

To prepare for success in your Unit 6 Assignment, which is a draft of your cause or effect essay without sources, create a thesis and outline that begins to flesh out the ideas you established in your thesis.

INITIAL POST
Review your topic choice and feedback in Unit 5 and what you learned in Unit 6 Lab. Use the following downloadable Thesis and Outline Chart to generate ideas and create a specific thesis and sentence outline about the change in your field you have chosen to address in your Academic Essay Assignment. Then, copy and paste your thesis and outline to the Discussion Board. This outline will become the basis for the draft you submit in Unit 6, so the more specific the information in your outline, the better prepared you will be for success on that assignment.

Be sure to also assess progress on your Unit 6 Assignment at this point. Review the Unit 6 Assignment rubric and explain what you have done so far to meet/exceed requirements there and what you will need to do to meet/exceed ALL expectations outlined in the Unit 6 Assignment rubric.
