Research Proposal – Sustainability
5 pages – MLA
Assignment: Choose a research topic that falls into the category of sustainability. The topic you decide on will be used for your Annotated Bibliography (Paper 3) and Research Paper (Paper 4), so make sure it is a topic that interests you. Because this will turn into your Research Paper, you need to also make sure that you’ve selected a topic that has enough information for you to use as reference material.
In your paper please be sure to include the following information:
A definition of the term sustainability. Make sure to use your own words. I need to be able to tell that you understand the definition and are not just copying and pasting.
A definition of your specific topic that is related to sustainability. Again, I need to be able to tell that you have a clear understanding of what you’re writing about.
Why does this topic matter? Why did you choose it and why should it matter to the reader?
Summarize one article that you’ve selected using Lone Star online databases. Explain why you think this article will be useful as you move forward with writing a research paper.
