Using the potential research project you identified for Written Assignment 1, consider how you would prepare a proposal to do the research. Be sure to:

• Include the necessary sections of a proposal.
• Describe why the research is important.
• Consider and describe the sampling plan you would use.
• Think about the literature review. What key words would you use to search?
• Discuss how the results would be used.
• Include a bibliography.
