Additional Assignment Guidance:

· Your paper should be a minimum of 8 pages in APA format (excluding title page and references) but encouraged use the number of pages needed to complete your assignment and address each of the elements effectively. To assist you in developing your assignment, you might find the attached template helpful.

· DO NOT include an abstract

· Submit your work as an MS WORD ATTACHMENT ONLY in either a .doc, .docx, or .rtf format.

· Please use 3rd person; however, you can use first-person perspective where applicable and appropriate, i.e. describing your own role, distinguishing from your point of view and others, or writing is reflective or contains personal elements.

· Do not forget to incorporate conceptual discussion when appropriate.

· You will use subheadings. A subheading reflects the content that follows. Subheadings provide a point of reference for the reader as well as guide the reader through your paper. If you do not have a clear thesis or your introduction is a bit complicated, the reader spends time guessing and is unclear as to what they are reading and why.
