The generating claims discussion board post was a way of making our claim for our final research paper and displaying the evidence that we had to prove it. This was an important assignment because it challenged our sources to ensure that we were in a comfortable place to write our final research paper. This artifact shows that I met the third outcome because it shows how I planned to incorporate new information into my scholarly conversation and the claim that I was planning to make in that conversation. While this is not a major assignment, I believe that this was an important stepping stone when ensuring that I was ready for my final research paper, and I think it is a good way of displaying the progress that got me to my final research paper.
