For the assignment this week, I want you to write a research prospectus for your final paper.
Your prospectus should be prepared in APA format and resemble a PLAN of your paper. You are not writing your paper, but showing me what you are writing about, why, and how you are going to present your information and argument.
Here are the key parts of this assignment I need to see:
1. APA title page
2. Your research prospectus
3. Reference page including five resource in annotated bibliography format. Use the same format you used to write the annotated bibliography of your cabinet member. APA format.
Format and content of the research prospectus
Title Page

You can change your title later
Introduction (Description of your paper topic)
Identification of specific problem area (e.g., what is it, why it is important). What is the topic of your research.
Explain to me what you are going to write about in this paper in 2-3 sentences.
Body of your Paper (Prospectus outline and plan)
Use the primary headings and three of your own headings to form the basic framework of your paper. Follow APA heading format.
Provide a 2-3 sentence description and overview of what you plan to accomplish for each heading area. You can refer to the resources from your annotated bibliography list.
For each Primary Heading, discuss what you are going to write about in the sections. You are not necessarily writing the content, you are writing your plan.
You can use subheadings if you want to map out your plan further.
