Suggestions and Advice for Worldview Paper
Very good star, your introduction is excellent. In your draft outline be sure to do the leg work up front of anchoring your truth claims in Scripture. Biblical references for every truth statement guard several things: 1) It sets forth a very high view of Scripture, 2) It lets your reader know where your ideas are coming from, 3) It lets your reader know that your source of authority is infallible. So please make sure you have a Scripture reference for each point you are making. (Note passages on fiat creation in Ps 33 and in Heb 11). Double check your formatting on outlining. Also always use page numbers on all your papers.
Excellent opening paragraph. The assignment required four pages of draft in outline form. Your outline is too abbreviated. Sentence outlining would be advisable--in that way you will be able to capture the development of your thesis: your argumentation, transitions between assertions, conclusions from each truth posited, etc. You need to show research, sources you will be referencing and consulting.
Formatting on outlining: if you use an a. there must be a b. if a 1, there must be a 2, etc. – no floating single points in the outline. If you have a single point that will not be accompanied by other headings or subheads, you need to subsume that single point within the point above it.
Very good work. You have a terrific start, with excellent research. Here are a few points that will assist you in writing the final paper: 1) make sure that the reader does not have to consult your footnotes in order to find the scriptural support for your assertions. 2) Since this assignment is designed to help the student articulate his worldview, especially in an evangelistic conversation, keep in mind how the points you are making may be adapted to a gospel conversation. 3) Keep demonstrating in the body of your paper where your ideas are coming from--the infallible authoritative Word of God. 4) Double check your punctuation; commas, periods, and colons go inside quote marks.
Very good start, and an excellent compilation so far of your research. Be sure to double check your outline formatting--in an outline, there is always a letter b following a letter a, and always a number 2 following a number 1. If a single point has no points following, it is subsumed under the major point above. Also always use page numbers on all your writing assignments.
Excellent beginning. Your style incorporating antithesis is compelling. And you research so far is very good. Here are some observations that will help you in writing your final paper: 1) make sure that you use page numbers on all of your written assignments. 2) your section on the fall of man should be extended to include the effects of the fall upon the creation, the mind of man, the destiny of man, the world system, etc. 3) Also keep building your arguments upon the passages of Scripture which set forth the truth about these four beats of human history: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
This initial outline was to be four pages.
