1) Clearly explain the objective of your paper. What are you attempting to accomplish? What is the central question of the paper?
2) Explain how you plan to accomplish this goal. What are the major factors that you plan to investigate? What issues will you address? What methodology will you employ? You may wish to provide a preliminary outline of the paper.
3) Prepare a preliminary bibliography containing at least 15 journal articles and/or books of acceptable academic quality. If you are uncertain whether a source is acceptable, please see the instructor. As a function of presenting a bibliography, you must include the proper bibliographic citation.
