As mentioned in Module 4, iIt is helpful to think of writing your research article in parts. The first portion, the introduction, can be divided into two parts: 1) the purpose, and 2) the literature review. Using your outline from Module 4 and the guiding questions below, develop this portion of your research article. Keep in mind, your entire article should not exceed 5,000 words total and/or 20 pages (without references) and must be written according to APA 7th edition guidelines.
Purpose

What is the question/problem/issue that you are researching?
Why do you want to do this?
