In the video, please share: your topic, your thesis, at least two objectives, and at least one source. Provide any additional research you have done since your topic was approved. Finally, include any questions that you might still have about your topic and that you are working on answering as you continue your research.
Here are a few more details to help you prepare:

Topic

This should just be one sentence in which you describe your general topic.
For example: My topic will explore the impact of Gene Robinson as the first openly gay Episcopalian bishop in the United States.
Thesis Statement

Religions ought to include more openly gay clergy.

Objectives

These are action-items that are measurable. Another way to think about objectives are goals. They usually being with “To…”
For example: To provide brief biographical information on Gene Robinson and his roots in the Episcopalian Church.
Research and Questions

Share the title and source along with a very brief description of one peer-reviewed source. Include any questions that you might still be considering and research you are still conducting.
For example: One of my sources is “Spirituality Triumphs: Episcopalian’s Language of Faith” in the journal The Christian Century. It considers the controversy of Robinson’s appointment as bishop.
As for questions, I am wondering how many LGBT leaders there have been since Robinson. I am currently looking up this information.
