For your second writing assignment, you will create a scholarly paper from seven to 10 pages in length that discusses the relevant theory and research related to your previously approved topic. Utilize the sources you submitted with your topic along with others you have identified. Write an integrated review of the current research on this topic. Like the first writing assignment, this paper should be written as though it is the Introduction section of an APA style research report. However, this paper will be longer than the first writing assignment because it will include more sources. As before, your paper should summarize the research and relevant theory(ies) on your topic. The information from your sources should be described in an integrated manner and not simply summarized individually in separate, unrelated paragraphs. Integrate the findings of the sources to provide an overview of the brief body of literature you are reviewing. Your paper should be formatted according to the general rules of APA style and must include in-text citations, a title page, an Abstract, and a references page in addition to the body of the paper. Each student should submit a .doc or .docx document no later than the stated deadline. Do not submit your work in pdf, rtf, or any open source format. Google Docs are not acceptable.
