Remember what we had developed at the beginning of the semester:

• Intro. Provides overview of problem/situation and proposed solution and/or stance (via thesis) Background of topic/ writer's interest in topic / relevance and importance to reader
• Consideration of Alternative Viewpoints
• Methodology-- What types of sources will you use and why? ('books' is not an appropriate response)
• Limitations (possible ways in which you will have to confine/refine your research)/Opportunities (interesting 'places' your analysis may bring you-- perhaps alternative considerations)/ Challenges (anything from considerations to overcoming assumed prejudices)
