(If you are undecided, you can use your current field.)     Important Notes:  This essay must follow the essay outline introduced in the \”How to Outline a Five-Paragraph Essay\” handout (i.e., it must contain a thesis statement per the guidelines described in the \”Thesis – Statement\” handout, which is located under this week\’s Study materials).   You are not required to use external sources for this exercise; however, if you do use external sources or the Bible you must cite the source accordingly.
