Remember, this is a rough draft, so it doesn’t have to be perfect.
use the attached Template as a guide to help you write your
introduction section. Remember, a template is an example you can follow –
so you will want to replace all of my text with your own, but
use the same formatting and organization and follow the suggestions I
provided in the comments.
Open your Proposal Outline. Save as a new file (save a copy) and rename it Proposal Draft Introduction.
Page 2 is the Abstract – leave that blank for now.
Page 3 is the start of the Introduction section. Type your title at the top of the page in sentence case (or revise the one that’s there).
1.
in your outline & in the Writing Workshop, you organized your
introduction by subtopics. Begin writing about the first subtopic. Keep
in mind that you don’t want to write about a previous study at length
unless it is pertinent in understanding your study. A good place to
start is summarizing the findings of each study related to that subtopic
in 1-3 sentences.
2. Move on to writing about subtopic #2.
3.
Move on to writing about subtopic #3 (if applicable). If not, move on to step 4
4.
Work on writing transition sentences between paragraphs and subtopics.
5.
Write a summary of why your proposed study is necessary and adds to our understanding of the topic.
6.
End by stating your proposed hypothesis. Be sure to operationally define your variables.
