The research plan can be described as a summary of your BT, which should help the reader to decide whether s/he wants to read the rest of the paper. To evaluate the quality of the research plan, imagine you are a third person reading it, not knowing anything about your research and not being able to access the rest of the work. Ask yourself: does the research plan reflect the most important issues, findings, does it tell the whole story about your thesis. In the research plan you should thus elaborate upon each major aspect of the paper. Therefore, you need to provide the key information [e.g., key concepts, theory used, summary of your results, observations, trends, etc.] that is needed for someone to examine your work. You should use concise and complete sentences and should try to get to the point quickly. Know that the research plan is very likely to be modified while you make progress with your thesis.
