Your outline and annotated
bibliography must be at least three pages in length and follow the format
provided below. You will begin your outline with an introductory paragraph in
which you identify your chosen topic and social problem. You will then identify
two contributing factors and two consequences relating to the selected social
problem, and provide three supporting points written in complete sentences for
each factor and consequence. These supporting points must include a direct
quotation, paraphrase, or summary from a scholarly source. Next, you will
identify and explain the research method you plan to use to study the selected
social problem and provide three concrete examples of how a study might be
accomplished using this methodology. You must include a conclusion that
summarizes the main points and restates the thesis, and provide an annotated
bibliography for at least five scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.
TheScholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers additional guidance on
appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source
is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your
