Write and submit a research paper.

Using the audience analysis, research, insights you have gathered, and the outline and thesis statement you drafted, write an essay in APA format which includes:
a title page
an introduction (generally one paragraph) that introduces your topic and includes your thesis statement
body paragraphs (generally 5-6 pages) that present relevant research (cited with in-text citations in APA format) that supports your thesis statement
a conclusion (generally one paragraph) that concludes the specific points of your essay and restates your thesis statement
a list of the references you cited in your paper (in APA format)

Save your paper as an *.rtf (Rich Text Format) file and submit it as an attachment to this task.


Provide a copy of an earlier draft with an explanation of revisions.

Submit at least one earlier draft that shows revisions you have made. Save this version as an *.rtf (Rich Text Format) file named "DRAFT" and submit it as an attachment to this task. Include an explanation (maximum of one page) of revisions you made to the earlier draft and how the final draft is an improvement over the earlier draft. Also describe the strengths and weaknesses of your writing.


Steps for Creating the Annotated Bibliography


Locate and record citations for research that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that best develop your topic.


Choose at least 7 sources to include in your annotated bibliography.


Cite the source of the research using APA (American Psychological Association) style.


Following the citation, write a concise annotation (5-6 sentences) that:


summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article,


describes what is valuable or useful from this source for your topic, and


evaluates the authority or background of the author.


You might also consider who the intended audience for the source is and/or how this source compares or contrasts with other sources in your research.


After the annotation, give the correct parenthetical citation as it will be used if you cite this source in your paper (e.g., Ullyatt, 2005).
