At this point, you have feedback from me on your ideas for the proposal and are ready to begin writing!  Writing is a process.  One rarely sits down and, in one setting, creates a masterwork of thought! Drafts and editing are a necessary part of the process. 

Feedback: Sounds like you put a lot of thought into this. No need mention Baumrind’s name in your title. As you probably already know, when working on your assignment include a title page (pg. 1), abstract (pg. 2), Introduction (pg. 3 and beyond), and literature review with References page. Also, it is a good idea to include your hypothesis at the end of literature review as a transition to the Method section. Thanks.

Your introduction should begin by relating your topic to the real world and provide the scope of the issue.  Continue with stating the dominant hypotheses then move on to include your research supporting your hypothesis and perspective. Be sure to describe the research – do not just include a random citation!  Make sure it is clear why this article is included in your paper.

Do not use first person.  Do not use quotations. Do not use contractions.  Avoid flowery language.

Please provide the Introduction to your proposal including the literature review and hypotheses.  Be sure to include the required number of sources (8-10) and that each has been used correctly and cited within the text. Make sure your paper conforms to APA style.

Introduction/Literature Review and Hypothesis- The literature review serves as

the introduction to your paper. The literature review should include a thorough review of 8-10 articles related to the chosen topic. The hypothesis should flow from the literature review and add to the current research on the chosen topic.

Your submission should also include the cover page and reference page.
