SPA #2: Kicking it New Testament Style!

Welcome to the second best day of your life. Today is the day you're going to make an argument, back it up with textual evidence, relate it all to the thesis and big picture, and blow me away with amazing insight. Sounds like last week's in-class writing. Sure does. No pressure, but you got this.

Question:
Is Jesus a loving figure/character? Why or why not?

Format:
*Please put your three goals at the top of your paper. Make sure the goals are clearly labeled.

*Double spaced. No need to paste in the rubric as I haven't figured out how to format it just yet.

*A note about in-text citation: you are going use parenthetical notation after each piece of evidence. To do this, follow this format: (Mark 1.15-17). Note that "Mark" is the abbreviation for the book from which you are citing, "1" is the chapter, and "15-17" are the verses. The chapter and verses are separated by a PERIOD not a colon.

Resources:
Use your pink packet of awesome. Refer to the SPA handout (you can also find that structure on the right side of the blog -->).

You can and should use Biblegateway.com to find textual evidence. You can use your nightly notes. You can use the class blog. The only thing you cannot use is someone else's work, ideas, insights, etc.

Handing the essay in:

1. You have the entire class period to write. What? Yes. Plenty of time to be awesome.
2. Email yourself a copy of the Word or Pages document AND THEN EMAIL ME A COPY OF YOUR DOCUMENT (mcollie@ma.org). I don't care what format this is in. This is just to play it say so I have your work on-time.
3. Save the document as a PDF with the following file name: Bible2C/B_Name.pdf (remember, if you're in C block, use the letter C in the file name; if you're in B block, use B)
1. Word users: FILE --> SAVE AS --> PDF (make sure to unclick the "hide extension" box)
2. Pages users: FILE --> EXPORT --> PDF (make sure to unclick the "hide extension" box)
