Your final draft will take the form of an informational brochure. It should be more complex and detailed than the average brochure you might see at 30th Street Station. It will include the following:
 * Research question (come up with a research question that you are trying to answer about your topic)
 * Introduction to topic
 * Describe your research question in detail - why is it relevant/significant to exploring your topic?
 * Sum up/describe the body of your text (what is your general message?)
 * Outline the organization of the text


 * Interpretation & analysis
 * Describe each religion's perspective on your topic, as you see it. (this should be at least a paragraph per religion).
 * Compare and contrast the religions within the frame of your topic - what parallels do you see? What differences? (this should be another page or so).
 * Describe the themes that seem to emerge about religion - these can relate to the similarities or the dissimilarities. (at least a paragraph).


 * Final thoughts, reflections, and insights about the issue
 * What did you learn?
 * What connections did you make?
 * Why is it important in today's world?


 * Bibliography in MLA format
