Order Description
Final Paper Outline and Annotated Bibliography
Your summative assignment for this course is a Final Paper, which is due in Week Five. To ensure that you have time to process the material and produce a strong paper,
you will create an outline your Final Paper and an annotated bibliography for submission this week. You will receive feedback on your outline and annotated
bibliography to help you make your Final Paper more effective. To begin, review the instructions for your Final Paper, which are listed in Week Five of your course or
in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide.
Topic for your Final Paper:
Does violence in the media contribute to violent behavior in children?
Then, review the PSY101 Outline and Annotated Bibliography Template, which contains the layout for this week’s assignment. Your outline must be one to two pages in
length. Clearly identify the topic selected, and include major headings for the areas to be considered. The major areas include:
• A well-written introduction and conclusion with a succinct thesis statement.
• Summarize your sources and analyze the findings from your research.
• Discuss the key issues and controversies surrounding your selected topic.
• Identify a variety of perspectives on the selected topic, so that the discussion is balanced and not one-sided.
• Distinguish how cognitive and behavioral implications might play a role in your selected topic. What learning principles could factor in with the topic? What
theories of motivation and personality could influence your insights into the topic?
• Analyze any additional research that could be done in the future and provide solutions that could be implemented in the present regarding your selected topic.
Under each major heading, summarize your point about that heading. Subheadings should briefly summarize research that may both support and disagree with each
viewpoint, if applicable. This outline will form your roadmap for creating your Final Paper.
In addition to your outline, submit a one- to two- page annotated bibliography of your scholarly sources for your Final Paper. Each source must include the APA
formatted citation as well as a summary paragraph. The summary paragraph should contain four to five well-developed sentences in your own words (do not use the
abstract included with journal articles) summarizing the source and describing its applicability to your selected topic. You are required to use a minimum of five
scholarly sources that were published within the last five years and are cited according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Examples of scholarly
sources include: peer-reviewed journal articles, research studies, professional websites with authored material, and government websites. Popular internet sites
(Wikipedia, Newsweek, New York Times, etc.) are not considered scholarly sources. These sources will also be used for writing your Final Paper.
