Initial Thread
Provide a 600 to 800-word summary (formatted according to APA guidelines) of the new
research in this area from a minimum of five new peer reviewed journal articles and identify
questions that need exploring in future research.
Your discussion should be organized in a three-paragraph format:
Introductory Paragraph: gives an overview and definition of the topic you chose. At
the end of the paragraph it gives an idea of how your forum is organized.
Current Trends Paragraph: In this paragraph, you will discuss the themes that you
found in the research from the 5 articles related to your topic. This paragraph should be a
synthesis of the research and not just a listing of annotated summaries.
Future Research Paragraph: In this paragraph, you will discuss areas of future research
by referencing the 5 articles that you identified. The future research areas should be based
on the findings of the authors of those articles rather than general ideas you may have.
*A reference section should then be included at the end of your discussion.
