• Explain the methods you used and why, and describe any limits to your methods

• If you did an action project, include a description of that here as well

Body (3-4 double spaced pages)

• Heading 1 (first set of claims, evidence, support)

• Heading 2 (second set of claims, evidence, support)

• Heading 3 (third set of claims, evidence, support)

Conclusion (.5 to 1 page)

• Revisit the theme, questions, or narrative you used in the introduction to bring things full circle.

• Briefly summarize your main ideas through the paper, bringing them together to synthesize the information.

• Propose a course of action for further research or action.

• Provoke your readers with the implications (the “so what?”) of your research. Why does it matter?
