I am currently taking the TESC capstone too. And for whatever reason I am not "getting it" either. But today I started comparing prior papers that my instructor had posted weeks ago to the syllabus, and now I think I'm "getting it" This is an "academic paper unlike anything you have done before". These words are the clue. Use your syllabus, the reading assignments, and any example papers you can get your hands on. The key is the "main question" that is answered by 2 or more sub-questions that you actually research. I think the trick is you turn the usual expository subject into a question that you answer with 2 or more researchable sub-questions that by inference answer your main question. Good luck to us both!
