 * Follow the basic pattern of any scholarly paper.**

 * It's fine to talk about the essay with each other as you prepare, but write your OWN essay with your OWN connections. **

 * SPELLING AND GRAMMAR COUNT!!**

You have had many insights and realizations through the year. Pick ONE (1) big idea. Write an essay about that idea, drawing from all Chapters (all MTH Chapters are required, SAC Chapters are less so).
 * Major Essay Question #1: As you look over the whole year, do you see how all the ideas converge and unite? **

Illuminate your essay with evidence from the movie "Judgment at Nuremberg." IN OTHER WORDS, Write an introductory paragraph, a concluding paragraph, and 10 body paragraphs---one for each chapter---tying together the major ideas and trends of the year.
 * Major Essay Question #2:** **Give a complete, coherent moral theory** rooted in the dignity of the human person, developing tools for analysis and extending to a variety of matters of justice.


 * Major Essay Question #3** Beginning with the PPS and ending with Justice, **explain the relationships between individual ethics, marriage, family and society**.

**In any Major Essay Question, the two main things I'm looking for when I grade these are the DEPTH of you insights. and the FLOW of your logic. Do you see the deep relationships between the major ideas of the year? Do you see how the year forms a coherent Catholic theory of morality? Do you see how the human person, marriage, family and society interrelate and harmonize?**
