See the APA Style and Format section of the Writing Center for instructions on accessing and using APA Style Central.
Your topic selection is not a part of the proposal itself, but the preliminary preparation for it. You can use the proposal template as a guide to show what you are moving toward, but you will not be ready to use the template to present your work until you complete the Introduction assignment in Unit 4.
Make sure you write your topic paper in third person. Do not use personal pronouns in your paper. Even though you have an interest in the topic and a passion for the research, it is not about you. The goal is adding to the fund of knowledge available on this topic in the profession.
