The way in which your completed conceptual framework reads and is applied will depend on the document in which the conceptual framework is used - that being said, there are certain aspects to all conceptual frameworks, and certain components which they all should contain. A few of these are listed below.
Ensure that you express yourself as clearly as you possibly can. Don't try to include complex sentences or elaborate vocabulary if you think it detracts from the clarity of your conceptual framework. A conceptual framework will be applied and used throughout the rest of your document, so it's important that both you and the reader have a good, solid understand of the practicalities of the conceptual framework of your piece.
When writing a conceptual framework, it's important to be as concise as possible. The best way to do this is to keep in mind at all times the aim of a conceptual framework: To outline a number or potential different courses of action in a certain situation, or to express an approach or way of thinking that should be maintained throughout the rest of your piece.
Then, when writing your conceptual framework, keep stopping and thinking to yourself, "is this really relevant? Do I need to include this at all? Can I include this later instead?" - by answering the above questions truthfully and objectively, you can keep your conceptual framework as brief and to-the-point as possible.
Whatever your document is, it will have a purpose. Perhaps your document is a scientific investigation, or a critical analysis of a classic novel - either way, you had a purpose, or an objective, to achieve when writing your document. Make sure that your conceptual framework is closely linked to your purpose. For example, if you were analyzing a novel using feminist criticism, your conceptual framework should explain the ins and outs of this style of criticism, and how you were able to manipulate it.
