1)    ABSTRACT- Prepare the abstract section which is a broad overview of the paper, don’t forget to include the Keywords. The abstract is the 2nd page of the paper and it has its own page. Make sure to have the necessary corrections to the Reference section completed. Submit your final paper with all corrections completed. In other words, be sure you review all of your professor’s correction from your previously submitted synthesis papers to ensure this paper is correct. Submit your entire completed paper.


2)    INTRODUCTION- (1 PARAGRAPH)
THEN START ON A SAME PAGE WITH THREE SUBTITILE AS FOLLOWS –

A) LITERATURE REVIEW : Prepare the Literature Review section of your paper.  Begin with an introductory paragraph that describes your search parameters and what databases were used.  Be sure to avoid first person (I, we, me, us, etc.).  Include at least one paragraph for each of your sources chosen in your Annotated Bibliography.  This is not a repeat of the summaries in the annotated bibliography, but should be written with details and data that flows easily from one point to the next.  This is specific details and data from each source, Not a Summary of the source. Remember, your literature review should be at least seven paragraphs, but not more than twelve paragraphs.  Each paragraph should be at least three sentences in length, but only contain one or two main points and support.  This section must have in text or parenthetical citations throughout, see page 177 of your APA book. Review your APA resources for how to properly cite references in your text. You will not use the journal or a website in the citation use the author’s last name. If the article does not have an author, put the article in quotation marks in place of the authors name in the citation.
B) DISCUSSION- The discussion section should contain two to five paragraphs and should be a discussion of how the literature review impacts your topic.  What does all the Literature Review state about your topic? Does the Literature agree with your topic or is there conflicting evidence? This is your opportunity to analyze the Literature Review and find the supporting facts to your topic. This is where you back up your Thesis statement. Go back to your thesis statement and be sure to clearly apply your literature review to your thesis statement. What common themes did your literature review have? Was the contradicting information in the literature review? This is where you might choose to add practice examples that support your topic. You could also discuss if your Literature reveals the need for more research to be done.
C) CONCLUSION- Prepare a one to two paragraph conclusion to your paper, which will be the overall take-home points to the paper.


3)    REFERENCE- USE TOTAL OF 6 SCHOLAR ARTICLES -make the reference page look just like the references on the annotate bib, just copy and paste the corrected references to the reference page.


4)    ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY- Prepare an Annotated Bibliography for your topic.  You should have a minimum of six sources that are no older than 5 years (APA considers anything older than that outdated information).  At least four sources should be scholarly papers and at least two sources should be from credible websites. Your annotated bibliography will be added after the reference section on a separate page with the title of: Annotated Bibliography - centered but not bolded. Submit the entire document. The annotated bibliography starts with the reference in APA format, with hanging paragraph indentation.  Following the reference, you will need a full paragraph summarizing the article and highlighting the major points of the article. Be sure to convey the author's purpose, major points, and conclusion of the article for the reader (4 sentences minimum). Since you are summarizing the article there is no need to say "The author" or "The article." This entire paragraph should be indented .5 inches.  The entire bibliography should be double-spaced, per APA format. Do not add extra space between references.
