Week 1 Assignment:
Identify your topic, explain why it is of interest and significance,
Identify specific questions you wish to answer, and
Articulate the learning outcomes you want to achieve.
There is no specific length required for this assignment. It could be one page or several pages. What you need to do is to identify your topic, explain why it is of interest and significance, identify specific questions you wish to answer, and articulate the learning outcomes you want to achieve.
Review the OWL: Purpose and audience: What is a White Paper?, particularly the words: authoritative and informative. Plan to argue a specific position or propose a solution to a problem, advocate that a certain position is the best way to go or that a certain solution is best for a particular problem.  Maybe these words will jog your thinking into a certain direction.

The PDF page Planning, Designing and Doing Action Research by Jean McNiff presents a list of questions to ask to shape an action research project. This list concerns the entire project, not just identifying a topic and questions, but it will be useful for you to read the list because if you answer the questions McNiff asks, you will have gone a long way in terms of identifying your topic and planning your project.
