Example: Formatting Papers in APA Style

Since most of you should be to the point of composing your papers by now, I thought I'd share this example of a paper in APA style.

NOTE: Although this example is good for illustrating margins, spacing, capitalization, headings, etc., it is a manuscript for a research article. You are not writing a research article, so your sections/organization will look different.

You might find it helpful to begin composing your paper using this APA Template. However, keep in mind several of the sections will not apply to you (just like in the example paper above).

Essentially, you're writing a literature review (only), so you would want to include the following elements:

• Title page
• Body of paper. Including:
• Intro
• History of the research on the topic
• Current directions in research
• A conclusion (that sets up Part II).
• References List

And we're back!

Hooray for Blogger being up and running again! That makes finding THIS LINK TO YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT APPROVAL FORM so much easier.

Be sure to save a copy to GoogleDocs and share it with your team members so you can all work on the form simultaneously, if needed. The completed version is required for approval no later than Friday, May 20, but I would advise you to get it to Mrs. Welle ASAP so that you can begin your data collection without delay.
