This document provides instructions for students to submit a final project outline and annotated bibliography. It specifies that students must identify their topic from four options, describe the issue and why it was chosen. The outline should include section headings and subheadings that demonstrate research was conducted. The annotated bibliography requires at least five scholarly sources, with each including a paraphrased summary and representing current research. The assignment should be 4-6 pages following APA style and addressing criteria in the grading rubric.

1. Final Project Outline/Annotated Bibliography
Before you begin, review the possible topics and requirements
for your Final Project in Week Five. There are four topics that
you may choose from and they are listed at the beginning of the
Final Project prompt. Submit the following to your instructor
for review:
Identify the topic of your Final Project
Describe the issue, why it was selected, the perspective of
approach, and the scope of the paper.
Provide an outline of your project
The outline should include a heading for each section of the
Research Paper/PowerPoint Presentation (including one for the
thesis and the conclusion) as well as heading descriptions.
Subheadings should also be used with a description of each
subheading. These should demonstrate that you have done
significant research, evaluation, and critical thinking on the
issues involved and should illustrate the strategies you would
incorporate and implement for the scenario you are creating.
Create an annotated bibliography
The annotated bibliography should contain at least five
scholarly sources that you intend to use in your project. Each
listing must include a paraphrased narrative of the actual
research study presented in the article and the studies used
should represent the most current research related to the topic
area.
Your outline and annotated bibliography must adhere to proper
APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. You may
also find samples of each in the Ashford Writing Center, which
is located under Learning Resources in the left-hand navigation
panel of your classroom.
Your assignment should be four to six pages as follows:
Title Page (one page)
Outline (two to three pages)

2. Annotated Bibliography (one to two pages)
Carefully review the
Grading Rubric
for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
