Find an established theory that addresses the topic you’re exploring in this course. Good established theories are those that have received significant attention by multiple writers, but which usually can be traced to one author whose work has been expanded upon by other researchers whose work is also often cited. Examine the major aspects and variables of your own topic and start searching for theories that touch on your subject. Once you’ve found a theory that could serve as the framework of your research topic or question, write a 600-word essay that explains that theory, in detail, and addresses why it could serve as a possible theoretical framework for your own research. (Feel free to use the sample theoretical framework as an example.) This assignment will be graded on content, adherence to APA style, and English grammar and usage.
