The Goal
The Goal of the course-spanning project is to compose an APA-formatted medium-length (5 – 7 pages) analytical research paper on a self-selected topic related to course themes, readings, and discussions, and drawing on course materials as well as independent research using current scholarly literature, reporting, primary documents and data, productions, and expert commentary and analysis. Papers should incorporate at least ten (10) current articles from scholarly journals.
In Unit 1… paper requirements here!
We begin by composing a one-page research-based Topic Description. The goal is to identify an area of interest and sketch out a potential research topic, and this requires some preliminary research.
Descriptions should be informed by at least five (5) research-quality sources, and each source should be listed on an APA-formatted Bibliography page.
Descriptions must incorporate in-text citations from at least three (3) of the references.

Process Tasks (please divided this paper by the following steps)
Each Unit includes a project-related assignment, and there are two parts to each assignment. Process tasks include:
1.Exploring potential topics (Unit 1) by reviewing a broad range of materials and interest areas and gathering reference materials as you narrow your focus
2.Composing a one-page Topic Description (Unit 1) with a list of five (5) related references
3.Refining the description (Unit 2) into a one- or two-paragraph Research Topic Statement integrating five (5) key sources
4.Developing an annotated bibliography (Unit 2) by composing one-paragraph descriptions for your five (5) key sources
5.Constructing an annotated outline (Unit 3) that integrates within the outline various notes on related source materials and thematic development
6.Early draft text (Unit 3) covering half or more of the topics included in your outline
7.Composing a full-length analytical research paper (Unit 4) based on current materials and contextualized in current events
8.Reviewing and editing the final draft (Unit 4) for APA style (citation, page formatting, and mechanics) and originality issues (detecting plagiarism)
upd:
If you can separate this essay into 4 units will be best
