Aphorism Project Due Dates:

You have done the following things in your aphorism project:

1. Identified an aphorism from The Alchemist
2. Explained the meaning of the aphorism
3. Reinforced the fact that it is indeed an aphorism
4. Brainstormed values represented in the aphorism
5. Researched non-profit organizations and aligned the value in the aphorism to the values represented in the non-profit
6. Picked a non-profit and developed a thesis/claim arguing that this specific aphorism represents this non-profit organization and why.
7. Found evidence in the organization website that supports your argument..

Now...

You will be looking for a secondary source that discusses your chosen non-profit organization and how it exemplifies what you have identified as an applicable aphorism. Remember.. a secondary source is a source that discusses a primary source. Your primary sources in this project are: The Alchemist and the Non-profit organization... your secondary source will be the source talking about the work done by the non-profit...  YOU will be the one connecting HOW the secondary source information supports YOUR claim/thesis- through your warrants!

Once you have found your source.. print off the article and annotate it for evidence to support your argument. Please staple this to the back of your packet.
