This paper must be 4-6 pages, typed (12 pt font), double-spaced, reference page should be attached. You should have consulted at least 5 sources with at least 4 scholarly sources. (Suggestion: start with some of the references the authors of our text, Doctors West and Turner, cite in their text on your subject and read the original article/book for more depth.) Scholarly sources are from peer reviewed journals or text books. Popular press (like RedBook or Reader’s Digest or most on-line sources) are not scholarly. In text citations are required for cited materials, quotations, and paraphrases. The paper should be an examination of something that impacts families and their interaction/communication. This can be anything from dealing with in-laws to the impact of drug addiction to the changes inherent when the kids become teenagers. The range is huge! If you are considering a topic but afraid it is off target, please ask me. Pages should be numbered in the upper right-hand corner. There should be section headings as seen below. The basic layout should be: Introduction: what are you discussing and why is it important? Review of literature: what do the “experts” say about it? Are there scholarly articles and what do they contain? How has the subject been studied before? Application: Show me how you see it working. You can use real families or fictional families (from tv or movies work well if you don’t want to use real people). Conclusion: Wrap it all up. Provide a summary and discussion of what you have learned. Reference page: use either MLA or APA format and list sources alphabetically by the author’s last name.
