Choose methods that fit the objectives

Plan the resources and timeline
Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.
Plan the evaluation
Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.
Format and length

Draft the outline from early reading: what themes keep appearing, and where do studies disagree? Use those as tier-one headings, with subtopics and points beneath. Check the title page against the current APA student paper format.
