APHORISM PROJECT: 
For your Aphorism project, you have done the following things:
          - Identified an aphorism from The Alchemist 
          - Explained the meaning and the overall value addressed in The Alchemist 
          - Examined a non-profit organization and picked one that you feel that aligns with the value
            you identified in your aphorism
          - Identified 5+ specific pieces of evidence from the non-profit site that supports your argument that this     specific aphorism would be an ideal message/slogan/aphorism for this non-profit..

Essentially... you have gone through steps 2-5 (and almost 6) of writing.

What is your research question?
What aphorism best represents the non-profit organization and why? 

Your Thesis:
The aphorism " ___________" best represents the ideals of ___________ non-profit because ___________________

Now... You have also come up with 5+ examples from the website that support your thesis. Can you "break up the topic"? Can they be linked under a larger topics (Think step 5 of writing)..
Are these examples better served as actual examples (Think step 6)?

1. THEREFORE... FOR FRIDAY, September 23rd.

*Please do an extended paragraph outline for your aphorism thesis (seen above)...
Outline... Fill it out.. do not write the paragraph.  You may need to revisit the website for another example(s) if possible.  Please include a brief warrant. As you start implement your backing, consult your secondary source.  This is a template.. .it may not fit EXACTLY to your needs for every point and example. Be able to adjust accordingly.
