The PSYC 644 Week 6 method, step by step
Answer the prompt in one sentence first
Write a one-sentence answer to the Reflective Essay prompt before drafting. That sentence becomes the thesis and keeps the essay on track.
Plan three supporting points
Sketch the supporting points and the course concept each one uses.
Develop each point with evidence
Give each point its own paragraph: the claim, the evidence (At least 1 reference to the textbook, 1 to Scripture and 1 scholarly source), and what it shows.
Engage the course material directly
Use the course's own terms and sources. The grader is checking that you learned the week's material.
Conclude with the so-what
End by saying why the answer matters for practice or for the field, in two or three sentences.
Check length and format
Check the word or page count (2,000 to 2,400 words) and APA citations.
Combine concepts from Johnson and research with honest reflection, organized by theme rather than chronology, and end with commitments for how you will follow.

A topic angle that works
Followership research, such as Kelley's styles of followers, treats followers as active participants who share responsibility for ethics. Reflect on your own experience as a follower: when you supported, questioned or stayed silent, and what courageous followership would require.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Kelley describes exemplary followers as both independent thinkers and actively engaged. Early in my career I was engaged but rarely questioned decisions, even when a manager cut corners on safety documentation. Johnson's discussion of ethical followership helped me see that silence was a choice. Daniel served faithfully in Babylon yet refused unethical orders, a model of loyal but principled following.
