Conduct a review of scholarly literature on your chosen research topic.  Establish a solid theoretical framework for you topic.  Determine what research has been performed; what findings have already been reported; if there are any systematic reviews on the topic, and where there is a need for your research. Synthesize your findings in a scholarly paper with the following requirements:
– A minimum of six recent (ie. published within the last 5 years) references (other than your texts) are required. The articles used in previous critiques or identification of your topic assignment may be included. 
– This paper should be approximately 5-8 pages in length.
– A title page, a table of contents, section headings in the body of the paper, and separate reference page/s are required.  Proper APA format must be utilized.  
– Refer to the MEAL Plan (posted under Course Resources tab) for comprehensive paragraph construction in your writing.
