Bioethics Essay - Minor Assignment 5 - First Draft (400+)
1. First Draft* - You may wish/need to review SGW: 4.51 The Introduction, 4.5.2 The Body, 4.5.3 The Conclusion, & 7.9 Your First Draft. Use Sample Essay to guide you in structuring your essay. Write and post your assignment to your blog.

ARW Portfolio (your blog)
The title of each Minor Assignment must be the same as the description in the Timetable in the Bioethics Essay Instructions. If you have used a different name for an assignment, you need to change the title to the correct name. Also, if you have put two assignments together e.g. the Scratch Outline & Working Bibliography, you will need to split the post into two separate posts and check that each assignment is correctly named. I recommend Hisayuki's blog (AE) as a good example of how to name your assignments. If you have a problem doing this activity, I can help you next semester; try your best.
