I’ve attached the Outline Template that needs to be used and the other research that has already been done.  Please, use both,

Instructions

Submit your Research Paper Outline for your Week 8 paper. This outline will include:

Your revised thesis statement after 3 weeks of research. 

An outline of your research design including introductory points, major topical points, and sub-points for each, and concluding points. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: A brief narrative statement (sentence or two) is expected for each point and sub-point within your paper. The goal is to tell us where you are going intellectually with that topic point and how it relates to your research question and thesis statement (See example of typical outline attached). 

Technical Requirements

• Your paper must be at a minimum of 2 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
• Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content.
• Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
• Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. 
• Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.

In the Production Notes which Lisa Loomer wrote to preface the play for actors and directions, she writes this:

“In terms of tone . . . The play walks a delicate line between funny and tragic. Actors who are innately funny (not broad), who understand timing and irony, but are not afraid to go deep, capture the tone best. Please go for nuance of character and good intentions as opposed to caricature. Every character in this play cares about children and is doing the best they can . . . in their own way” (3).

It’s important to remember this note about the play’s tone so that we do not demonize any individual character, so with that quote in mind, please do the following: 

Choose two characters from the play who seem to have different world views about what is best for children.

Brainstorm a list of points and quotes that help you to understand the world views/beliefs about each of those two characters.

Summarize those two characters’ world views/beliefs in your own words.

This is brainstorming that will help you for an upcoming paper.

In the peer review for this assignment, you will read and share ideas with one other student.  Please complete peer reviews as quickly as possible.

Instructions

Continuing your work on the research plan you have been developing in Units I and II (I will provide you with this), you will now write a literature review for this unit’s assignment.

First, conduct research to locate at least FIVE relevant sources that can contribute to your research study.

• You must use high-quality sources such as peer-reviewed articles and empirical studies (quantitative and/or qualitative).
• At least FOUR sources must be published within the last 5 years.
• At least two of your sources must come from the CSU Online Library.

Next, compile your sources into a literature review. Your literature review must be at least two pages in length.

• Ensure that you critically evaluate each source as well as explain why each source was selected and how it is of value to your research topic.
• Thoroughly compare and contrast your findings.
• Identify any gaps (what is unknown or needs to be researched further) and controversies that exist in the literature.

Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.
