Writer: You are to write my writing project 3 (WP3) and the Capstone Presentation.. WP3 is connected to the annotated bibliograpghy (my last assignment) and the Capstone Presentation (to be done with this assignment). I am attaching the annotated bib for you to read and become familiar with how/what the paper should be and to use the sources referenced on the annotated bib-this is a must. You can use additional sources of which I have attached a few and/or will put a the link at the end of my instructions. The annotated bib and any other source chosen from my links or attachments are the secondary sources. The primary source is Wheatley in On Being Brought from Africa to America. You can use one additional primary source, if you would like, but it must be an author found in the Norton Anthology American Lit text. (I had given a list in my previous assignment–the bib) if you want to look at that. I have also attached the instructions for both the WP3 and the Capstone presentation that we the students were given. Please take the time to cite the work properly throught the assignments when para-phrasing or using direct qoutes as well as the works cited page. (I assume this is general knowlegde for an advance writter such as your self). The WP3 must be 8 pages plus the works cited and the capstone must be 7 slides plus the last works cited page. Which 4 of the sources have already been done in the bib so they are just a matter of copy and pasting. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions if something is not clear or further assitance is needed. Here are the two links to 2 sources (others are attached): https://www.washingtonpost.com/classic-apps/why-trumps-wall-contradicts-todays-immigration-trends/2017/04/12/43358a88-1fcb-11e7-ad74-3a742a6e93a7_story.html?utm_term=.68b448255d36

Covenant theology is often put as the opposite of dispensational theology. Within the practical application of theology, this is probably not true.
