1. Directions: Help me write a proposal plan report describing your plan to complete your proposal. Your proposal will be in memo format. Include the following sections:

• Memo Heading
• Introduction (1-2 sentences)
• Topic Description - Describe the topic that you want to write about (1-2 paragraphs).
• Explanation of Topic Choice - Explain why you chose that topic (1 paragraph).

2. Based on your Research Proposal Assignment, write the following Annotated Bibliography:

When researching a topic, you need to know what other people in the field have to say about it before you can add your own ideas to the conversation. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources on a topic that summarizes and evaluates each source. It has two parts. The first part is the bibliography line, which should be written in APA format. The second part is the summary paragraph. Both parts together are called an "entry." Entries are single spaced and organized in alphabetical order according to the bibliography information, such as the last name of an author or the title of a book.

You will need to include at least 4 sources.

Content of Bibliography:

1. Begin with memo formatting.
2. Include an introduction paragraph explaining your topic. (This can be the same one you used in your proposal plan. It helps remind me what your topic is.)
3. Start each entry with a citation for one source in the correct APA reference format.
4. Write a summary that includes the following elements:
   1. A sentence or two that describes the author's credentials: Is it written by someone who has the expertise to write the information? This could include their job title, place of employment, or years of experience in the medical field. We want to make sure it wasn't written by a college freshman (for example).
   2. A brief 4-6 sentence summary of its content: What is the resource about?
   3. A 1-2 sentence evaluation of the source for its relevance to your topic: Will this be a helpful source? How will it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your proposal? 3. Based on your Research Proposal Assignment, write the following Proposal Progress Report: Progress reports provide information concerning the status of a current project. They are used to monitor a project and to provide accountability. Progress reports describe work to date at the completion of each phase or milestone. It states how much work has been accomplished and explains whether the project is under or over budget. It also indicates any changes in direction in a project plan.Project management is an indispensable element in all proposals. Without them, project control could be lost, resulting in cost over-runs, runaway budgets, late-delivery fines, or even loss of funding. Project managers must at all times have a clear picture of how the proposal is being implemented. A clear view of work completed, work remaining and the cost of each part of the project is informational data that is needed to steer the project manager's decisios toward a successful completion. Directions: Using memo formatting, write a progress report on the work you have completed to date on your proposal, what you are currently working on and the work that remains to be completed. Do not make up a fake project.Sections:Introduction:
