11.21 - Ayn Rand Research Wrap-Up

Today in class, everyone was working independently to finish their two paragraphs on what Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism is and what in her life lead to the creation of this philosophy.

People were wrapping-up their work according to where they were at in the process. The steps in order were:

Complete Research (finding seven relevant facts from three sources)
Outline (establishing a thesis and using facts to help prove it)
Writing (use the outline to write two paragraphs answering our research questions)

In class, we went over what each portion of the outline would do and talked about possible responses to these different sections of the outline. Our notes on what each portion of the outline would do were as follows:
