Research Paper Outline
Use the following outline to guide to help you organize this assignment
Title Page- (Hint: Do not actually write the phrase “Title Page” on the title page itself, or any of these other labels like “Topic Introduction”, etc.)
Introduction-Introduce the topic (a good quote, old saying, or simple statement of a good example from everyday life is a great way to give the reader the idea and get them interested in reading more).
Summary- (repeated for the four developmental periods. Use headings to separate the periods)
Conclusion
References- (This should be on a new page. Be sure to provide a reference for every article that you cited. Do not list anything in the references that you have not cited in the body of the text).
I attached a document that has links to journal articles to use and grading Rubric. It also contains the reading material. Please use only materials in attachment for paper.
