Step 1: Select a topic of your choice for your paper. The paper topic should be an issue related to health and aging.
Topic Selection: The basis of my topic will focus on the Importance of Physical Activity, Nutrition and Social Support for Optimal aging. I will demonstrate how the effects between these elements relate to overall optimal aging by increasing high physical functioning, high mental and cognitive functioning, active social functioning, and overall health.
Step 2: Locate 10 recent articles, book chapters, and/or Web sites on the topic, and create a reference list using APA format.
Sources must have been published in the last five years.
Step 3: Write an annotated bibliography. Each of the 10 in your reference list should be followed by a brief (usually about 150 word) descriptive and evaluative paragraph explaining how this source will help to develop your paper.
