How you plan on applying the theory to the artifact: Describe the parts of the theory you plan on applying to your artifact and what you hope to accomplish in your application. This is a preview of what you intend to do. Essentially, what do you hope to show by applying the theory to your artifact/relationship/cultural experience?
Each outline must include at least 2 sources (your book can count as one of the sources) and be cited using APA style format. Remember to include a reference page. Outlines will range from 1-2 pages.
- If you do this correctly, you should:
- Write the theory section as it will appear in your paper. This means providing a general overview of the theory as well as its relevant parts and explaining how these play out in the theory. Do not forget to include proper in-text citations.
- Same goes for the artifact, relationship or cultural experience. Describe it as it will appear in your final paper. Include proper in-text citations if you selected an artifact.
