MidMiniProject – Happiness in an Unjust World? Ask About It In Class Or By Email Any Time/25 (Upload a PowerPoint Document and a Word Document Essay As a Separate Word Document)
- Explore: First reread the reading from module 2 on Five Tests of the Good Life. Use the categories in this article to structure your MidMiniproject (You may use creativity of how you work through the questions) Here are also several resources to explore the topic of happiness in an unjust world that you can use to develop your MidMiniproject:
- What is justice?
- Just Mercy
- Ponder: This is your big question to ponder, consider it as your purpose statement: How can we find happiness in an unjust world? From this question what are your questions related to it in regards to specific issues of injustice? Use these to frame your own response. Think also about the questions from the reading by Rosner (Five Tests of A Good Life) as well as any course content you can apply to the big question (i.e. lenses for modules 1-3). Think about how faith applies to your MidMiniProject (i.e. Bible Project videos). Long quotes from the Bible are not required, just put a verse you are referring to in brackets). Your first slide and paragraph should introduce and explain what you are arguing, such as “in this project I will be arguing that happiness in an unjust world requires engagement with (topic)…and these are my main points.” The introduction and conclusion can include 1st person reference of a personal nature. The main middle paragraphs should be in the third person. This video explains my perspective
- Create Two Files to Upload – One PowerPoint and One Word Document: Related to the big question highlighted above develop a chosen topic related to injustice (social justice issues include racism, sexism, poverty, mental health, etc.) Pick one. Ask if you want to do something different, I will usually say yes). Apply topic to a MidMiniProject on a happiness issue consisting of 5 PowerPoint slides. It can be detailed with multiple images, quotes, and ideas in a coherent flow as argument – like a story board filling up the slide (Slides are like your Getting Started MiniProject – this requires separate essay document not explanation notes). Create an 800 to 1000 word explanatory essay. Upload as a separate essay in a Word document . The slides are to reflect your essay flow and complement your exploration or argument. No peer reviewed sources are required for a C to B- level MidMiniProject but be sure to engage course content (i.e. textbook). Those who are seeking upper level grades should do research outside along with and beyond the course content with several peer reviewed sources. (Since this essay is short, there won’t be room for more than a couple extra sources but this shows me you are going above and beyond and seeking to further apply yourself to the subject.) Course content is key to show you are engaging the material and doing your own original interpretive work.
- Citations: APA, MLA, or Chicago may be used. The purpose of your citations is to give proper credit to those you are quoting or to which you are referring. Images can be cited as links from the source. Class content can be cited (Clarke, 2023). Feel free to include citations in body and a reference list (not included in word count). No separate reference section or bibliography is required for C to B range but helps towards higher grade aims. Key is to be sure to give credit to whom credit is due.
- Grading Scale: Outstanding (A range), Complete (A-/B+ range), Solid (B/B- range), Sufficient (C+/C range) Needs Improvement (C-/D+ range), or Incomplete (D or below range).
