This document is the foundation for your prepatory outline and for your essay. Save it to your computer with an appropriate name, such as Jones.Samantha_Outline. Complete and submit the completed outline for the Week 4 Course Project Introduction and Outline assignment. When you are ready to draft your essay,
save a copy of your outline document with a new name, such as Jones.Samantha_Essay. Then turn your brief outline entries into essay sentences and paragraphs. Easy! Be sure to replace all instructional content with your own writing.

For Week 4, write your introduction paragraph in place of these instructional paragraphs, then use the body sections outlined below as a structure for your own project outline. Be sure to cite sources. End the document with a references list including full APA reference citations.

Include the following in your
introduction paragraph.

· One surprising or significant fact you can use to hook your readers and motivate them to read further 

· Your subject technology, with a brief description of the tech and its applications

· Why this research and recommendation are necessary 

· Why your intended audience should take time to consider your recommendations

· Your primary ethical approach, including the ethical theory and its applicability

· Your overall thesis statement, including your specific and actionable recommendations

Use the suggested structure below as a guide to develop your own concise and clear outline. This will be a driving roadmap for your draft. Tips:

· Keep the six major sections, but feel free to adjust all other details.

· You don’t need to worry about formal outlining with Roman numbers and such; you may use numbering, or bullets, or simply indent to show major points, sub-points, and supporting details.

· Add lines to include as much detail as you can, but be efficient. Write only brief ideas on each line. Don’t take the time to write any complete sentences.

· Refer back to your research notes for supporting details and citations. Include specific source citations in each part of the outline as often as possible! The more supporting source information you include now, the easier it will be to draft a credible, ethically researched essay. Citations are a graded part of this assignment.
