I have the chapter printed off I can scan that you.
Here is the specifics:
Course Project Brainstorming
Each course requires you to complete a Course Project. In most cases, that project will be a paper that deals with a topic related to the course content. Your instructor may have additional requirements. In general, the Course Project paper should be between 1600 to 1700 words in length, 12 point font, double-spaced; and must use APA format for both in-body citations and the reference page at the end of the paper.
The individual Course Project Assignments will all contribute to your final product so there is no wasted effort! In this lesson, your goal is to brainstorm topics that will help you to narrow down the focus of your paper. A good way to start the brainstorming process is to check out the “Table of Contents” of your text book. If you see a subject that interests you, leaf through that chapter and try to pick something that interests you even more. You can also preview the six course lesson presentations for ideas.
Then, you may also want to Google that topic and see what types of information are out there on the Web. Read a few things you find to see if you are on the right track, in other words, does the topic still interest you. There’s no point in writing a paper on something that is boring, right? Here’s a tip: don’t try to brainstorm in isolation, trying to pull a topic out of the proverbial rabbit’s hat. All that does is make you panic for no reason. Research a bit, using the process described above first, then decide on a topic or two.
After you do your detective work, please submit:
Two or three broad topic areas to your instructor for feedback
A paragraph (minimum 150 words) on why you chose those topics.
Your instructor will help you refine your ideas so that you can move on to the next step in Lesson 2. And keep in mind; you can change your mind. Good hunting for topics, not rabbits

Now that you have narrowed down your topic, based on your efforts in Lesson 1, it’s time to do some serious research and put together a short outline for your paper. Think of that outline as the road map for the direction your paper will take; spending time on a well-developed outline makes writing the paper much easier. If you have never written an outline, check out this tutorial to create an outline in Google Docs. Creating Outline Notes in Google Docs
At the end of the outline, you must list at least four references (in APA format) for sources that you plan to use in your paper. It does not have to be your final list, just intended to get you started, and it’s not set in stone. But, please remember to use scholarly sources, which does not include Wikipedia.

In this lesson, you will submit a rough draft of your project for instructor feedback. Don’t worry, this draft is not supposed to be perfect. It’s simply a good time to let your instructor see your progress and for you to receive some helpful pointers to ensure your success.

After implementing the feedback your instructor provided for your rough draft, use the checklist below to self evaluate your work. Remember to be critical-you will be graded on how well you critique your project in its current state. (NOTE: Do not simply answer yes/no. Explain your thoughts in narrative form.)
What is the writer’s main purpose or theme? Does the structure of the paper complement its purpose and content?
How does the introduction catch the reader’s attention or generate interest in the topic? If it does not, how can this be accomplished?
What organization format is used for the body paragraphs? Is it consistently used for all the information? Are any variations justified?
Is each main point clearly explained? What type of support is used?
What type of support information could be added to clarify the main points?
Does the conclusion summarize the main ideas? If not, how can this be accomplished?
Are grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, word usage, etc. correct? Did you see any errors that need to be fixed?
Were in-body citations and references properly used? Does the paper adhere to APA style guidelines?
What is the strongest part of the paper? Why is it good?
What can be improved? How can it be better?

It’s time to upload your final project. Please make sure that you have incorporated comments and feedback your instructor. Before you submit, have you checked your grammar, spelling, and proper APA format for your in-body citations and references?
