INTRODUCTION

Follow these steps to help you research information for your project. You must do the activity one step at the time.

STEP 1 TASK DEFINITION

Defined Problem/Background

These past few days my family has been talking about one of my cousins who can see spirits. When I think about it again, I actually know a lot of people around me who can see spirits. Knowing that, it got into my mind a question that I can't even answer for myself. How should I, as a Christian, think about this ability? This question came up to my mind because there are a lot of disagreements between what my religion teaches and what the ability proves (e.g. according to my religion once someone's dead, their soul should go up to heaven, while this ability proves that there are souls living between us and sometimes those souls look like the dead people we know). Having this controversial question in mind, I decided to make it as my Personal Project topic, as knowing the answer to this is of great importance for my spiritual life too.

Goal:

My goal is to increase my understanding about the behaviour and ethics Christianity Bethel has towards a specific type of 6^th sense, and to compile all the information I get through the media of creative writing journal.

What is your inquiry question?

f. Is there any example of this ability being shown in the Bible? If yes, where and what impression does it give?

g. How should Christian Bethel outsiders [Y1] (who don’t have the ability) view and act towards people who have the ability?

STEP 4. USE OF INFORMATION NOTE-TAKING SHEET (show references in a bibliography (MLA)

Criterion A. Process Journal Students should demonstrate information literacy, thinking and reflection. Research Topic 1/ What is 6^th sense?

Web. 04 Aug. 2012. <http://www.newagedirectory.com/sixth/howsixth.htm>.	a. What is the definition of 6^th sense? a power of perception beyond the five senses; intuition http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sixth+sense?s=t : a power of perception like but not one of the five senses : a keen intuitive power http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sixth%20sense a supposed intuitive faculty giving awareness not explicable in terms of normal perception http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sixth%2Bsense?q=sixth+sense 6^th sense is another sense out of the 5^th sense that cannot be verified upon conscious reasoning like science or even our 5^th sense, which is usually why most people think 6^th sense is not useful, mysterious, and complicated. (http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html, verified with http://ezinearticles.com/?Sixth-Sense----Everyone-Has-It&id=1869006) Another terminology that can be used to define 6^th sense is ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). Everyone is born with 6^th sense however as they grow up their 6^th sense will slowly fade away, as they are not put in practice because of course parents teaches their kids to use their 5^th sense as maximum as possible so that they can interact with the world. (Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam, verified with Rahasia Super Dahsyat Indra Keenam) Even so it does not always end up like that. Some people when they grow old still can have 6^th sense because either they practice it or of a difference in their body.??????? The notion of extrasensory perception existed in antiquity. In many ancient cultures, such powers were ascribed to people who purported to use them for second sight or communicate with deities, ancestors, spirits, and the like. http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html ?????? b.

How can some people have it?[Y5]
Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) a. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? The information obtained helps me respond to my inquiry question and it belongs to my topic because it answers the sub questions of my first main question, which is a part of my big inquiry question. The information will help me to develop my project product because it will help me understand and know on what to write in my product, which is a creative writing in a journal form later on. The information connects clearly with my AOI because this part of the research can be said as the Awareness Understanding step of the Inquiry cycle, as it is obvious that this part of research is exploring about the social issue of 6^th sense. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information is reliable because all the websites and books used for this research are copyrighted. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source?

Asosiasi Pendidikan Bethel. N.p., n.d. Web. 05 Aug. 2012. <http://www.apb.or.id/?page_id=33>.	a. What is the background belief of Christianity Bethel? We Believe: In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. http://dbr.gbi-bogor.org/wiki/Church_of_God#Pengajaran_dasar, verified by http://www.apb.or.id/?page_id=33 b.

Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) b. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? Yes it does respond to my inquiry question and is related to my topic because the information obtained answers the sub questions of one of the three main questions I have, which are actually parts of my inquiry question. The information will also help me develop my project product, a creative writing journal, as it helps me understand and know on what to write in the product later. The information connects clearly with my AOI because it is clear that this research is a part of the reflection step in the inquiry cycle, as here I am discussing about the social issue of 6^th sense in the perspective/point of view of Christianity Bethel. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information source I use for the first sub question is reliable because it came from the Bethel church’s official website and can be verified to a Bethel’s association website. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source? Yes, the information is accurate because the information I got from this website: http://dbr.gbi-bogor.org/wiki/Church_of_God#Pengajaran_dasar can be verified to this website: http://www.apb.or.id/?page_id=33. D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? The information that answers the first sub question of this main question is not known to be current or old. There is no information of the publication date in both the source I use to obtain and verify the information. However, I can assume that the information is still current because the information is obtained from the official website of an existing church and so the website must still be updated until now. E. Is the information objective/not biased? (Objectivity) The information obtained is proven not biased because it can be verified to another source. F. What information do I still need? G. What new questions does my research bring?

Personal interview. 6^th of August ’12.	A journal can be a periodical of a specific field, daily periodical, a daily record of transactions, or a personal daily record of experiences, occurrences, ideas/thoughts, observations or reflection. Some types of personal journal: - Personal writing journal - Creative writing journal A creative writing journal is a great way to record those short (or long) stories, poems, musical lyrics and/or drawings that are just waiting to escape your subconscious mind and come alive on paper. Many times people daydream and get poems, ideas, etc. that sound just right at the moment and then become lost in the subconscious mind because they didn’t take a moment to write it down. So, be sure to always keep a journal and pen handy – whether you decide to keep a journal specifically for creative writing or not, you’ll always be prepared to jot those thoughts and ideas down on paper – you never know what’ll emerge! I’ve known many writers who keep a journal on their nightstands for when inspiration strikes in the middle of the night. - Memory book or journal - Gratitude journal - Prayer journal - Family journal - Friendship journal - Scrapbook - Sketchbook - Travel journal - Recipe journal http://www.scribetime.net/types-of-journals-and-journal-writing/ verified with Ms. Terri Specifications of a qualified creative writing journal: - Shows a progression of time through the dates - Follows the plotline - Shows a progression of understanding - Grammar, spelling, flow of one thought to the other/transition, and sentence structure that is still understandable or that don’t hinder the message of the sentence A creative writing journal does not have a rigid structure like an informative essay. However, each entry should be dated. Skills needed: - Writing (expressing thoughts into writings, having transitions over one thought to another, etc.) - Grammar - Spelling - Creative writing (making the story interesting for people to read, using the plotline, etc.) My skills ranked from 1-5: - Writing: 4/5 ß but nearly a 5 - Grammar: 4/5 - Spelling: 5/5 - Creative writing: 4/5 ß my problem is to make the story interesting How to improve the skills that I have to improve: - Grammar: By turning on the software’s grammar check but don’t rely on it. You can reread what you write carefully too. - Creative writing: By making notes on the true problems that I dealt with when doing the research so that my story’s problem(s) wouldn’t be boring or unrealistic Software for me to use (recommended by Ms. Terri): - Pages (for Mac) - Microsoft Word - Microsoft Publisher Even so, the software used must be the most comfortable software for the author to use, and that will be Microsoft Word for me.
Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) c. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? The information helps me respond the inquiry question and it belongs to my topic, as it answers the sub questions of one of the three main questions taken from my inquiry question. The information will definitely help me develop my project product because it will help me determine the specifications and steps on how to make a qualified journal. The information connects clearly with my AOI because it is clear that this research is preparing myself to take the action step in the inquiry cycle, as I am trying to find out how to present the behavior and ethics Christianity Bethel gives towards the social issue of 6^th sense. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information is reliable because it comes from a well-known dictionary, both in print form and Internet, that is copyrighted and the information obtained from them. The information obtained from the scribetime.net website is also reliable because the website is copyrighted. The information obtained from Ms. Terri Davis is reliable because she is an English teacher in SPH Sentul City teaching English HL class for grade 8, 9, and 10. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source? The information is accurate, as all the information obtained can be verified to another source. The information I got from this website: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/journal can be verified to this sources: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/journal?s=t and Oxford Learner's Pocket Dictionary. The information I got from this website: http://www.scribetime.net/types-of-journals-and-journal-writing/ can be verified to this source: Terri Davis, an English teacher from SPH Sentul City. D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? The information is still current. Almost all of the sources I used are published or said (for interview) in 2012. Even though the print dictionary I used is not current, published in 1995, the information is still valuable and correct proven from its ability to be verified to another source. E. Is the information objective/not biased? (Objectivity) The information is objective because it can be verified to another source and the information obtained is the same, which means that there are no opinions or personal feelings involved in the production of the information. F. What information do I still need? G. What new questions does my research bring?
Criterion D. Application of Information Students should transfer and apply information to make decisions, create solutions and develop understandings in connection with the project’s goal. (Note: Please include reference/in-text citation) How is this information useful throughout the project to achieve the goal for : 5.
