Remember, the first draft of your worldview paper in the form of a four page (minimum) paragraph outline is due Monday, March 22, the day we get back from Spring Recess. Write your outlines in complete sentences, punctuated appropriately, to create topical paragraphs that explain content and ideas. Focus on worldview facts, for what will essentially be an encyclopedia article of your own creation from your various sources, and your evaluations; include narrative elements if possible.
