As moving on beyond the initial outline and summary, the next step will be drafting. 

Drafting is a very important step in the writing process, but by no means should it be considered the final stage. 

In it you should focus on putting as much on paper as you can including your thesis (thought it may eventually change), your supporting evidence, and analysis of the evidence. It is less important to worry about having all the correct words and punctuation as it is to work hard to express as much as you can about the topic.

Your rough draft will consist of the bulk of your proposal's content, and should include your proposal broken into four sections:

* Purpose: Indicate the purpose and scope of your problem - tell us what you will be solving and why you believe it is an important issue.

* Problem: Share what the actual problem is and any history that you have regarding it or additional problems that will branch from this initial problem.

* Solution: Provide what your solution(s) to the problems are, and outline the steps that you think are needed to get to the solution.

* Conclusion: Wrap it all up and provide a conclusion to the reader. Be sure to engage your reader by applying effective organization, appropriate tone, and clear usage.

Also provide a reference page with a minimum of four references properly formatted in APA style. At least two of your references should be scholarly sources. At this stage, the draft should be between 3-to-5 pages plus the reference page.
