INTRODUCTION In your introduction please include the following: · What your cultural paradigm is according to the survey · Your response to how accurate the survey including some examples of how this looks from your own experience · What you will be doing in this essay (see the actual essay question for help) · What Bible reading you chose and why BODY The body is the place that you begin to use the material from the template above. Remember, your job is to put on your glasses from YOUR cultural paradigm/worldview and tell me what YOU see in the story. You can write a paragraph on each of the things you see as strength and the things that you see as weaknesses. Things NOT to do. · Please DO NOT tell me what a Christian would think or what I think. Tell me what you think. This is how you will get the best marks possible · Please DO NOT go to google and find out what someone else thinks. You will LOSE marks for this and potentially fail the assessment. · Please DO NOT use a thesaurus on words in the Bible passage or on material you quote. Just use in-text citations and references. You should never do this to Bible verse because it changes the meaning. In fact, you should not use a thesaurus at all until you understand English. Just substituting a word can completely obscure the meaning. Things to do · Please make sure you remember you are writing an essay. You need to show flow and links in your work. You need someone else to be able to read this essay and understand it even if they had never seen the essay question or been to Excelsia. Keep this in mind at all times. · Please get someone to help you with your grammar. Don’t just presume that it makes sense to others if it makes sense to you. · Please ask questions rather than just submitting the work thinking that you have done the essay. By asking questions and getting some help you will do a much better job and get much better marks. CONCLUSION In the conclusion it is your opportunity to summarise what you have done and what you have learned. Here are some tips: · Do not write any new material. · Summarise what you have done (see your introduction for a clue on what you planned to do) · Summarise what you have learned from the BODY of the essay · Tell me the highlights and difficulties · Tell me how this impacted you I wish you good luck.
