First Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be
tempted by Satan; Come quickly to help us who are assaulted
by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of
each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through
Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

This week in homework (write it in a planner!)
Remember: why do we do research, and do it well?
1) To actually have evidence for the intelligent things you say.
2) To consider the multiplicity of perspectives and issues involved in a topic or conversation
3) Christians work hard and do their homework: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Be ready to start your Mini-Research assignment by watching this video, and reading all the posts on this blog. Take notes!
Lesson--
Work on your Mini-Research assignment. Follow the steps on the assignment carefully, and remember to edit your question as you go. They should not be too broad, but also not too narrow.
Check out these examples from a writing program at Duke University (click me for more):
Examples:
1. For instance, the following question is too broad and does not define the segments of the analysis:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
(The question does not address which chicken or which road.)
2. Similarly, the following question could be answered by a hypothetical Internet search:
How many chickens crossed Broad Street in Durham, NC, on February 6, 2014?
(Ostensibly, this question could be answered in one sentence and does not leave room for analysis. It
could, however, become data for a larger argument.)
3. A more precise question might be the following:
What are some of the environmental factors that occurred in Durham, NC between January and February
2014 that would cause chickens to cross Broad Street?
(This question can lead to the author taking a stand on which factors are significant, and allows the writer
to argue to what degree the results are beneficial or detrimental.)
Use this time to revise your question and to write your paper, following the requirements on the Assignment Page. Tomorrow we will cover MLA formatting and the writing rubric, and will finish in-class.
