Develop each point with evidence
One paragraph per point: claim, support (At least 2 scholarly articles, for a total of 3 references), explanation.
Engage the course material directly

Conclude with the so-what
Close with the implication of your answer, briefly.
Check length and format
Confirm the length (Approximately 500 words) and current APA format before submitting.
Identify who is affected, who may resist and why, and the specific actions for communication, training and reinforcement. Tie the plan to the results from your PDCA cycle.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Using Kotter's steps, the clinic manager will create urgency by sharing the wait-time data and patient complaints with all front-desk staff, then form a small guiding team including a respected senior receptionist. The four-week test results become the short-term win that persuades the other desks. Nehemiah built the wall by assigning each family the section near its home, a model of shared ownership in change.
