TITLE OF YOUR PAPER IN CAPS 2
Projects Full Title
Here you will enter text body of the project. Add as many pages as are required in your
project requirements. Notice that APA format calls for 1 inch margins all around. Each
paragraph should be indented. Keep in mind that a college level paragraph should be 5to 8
sentences in length. The first paragraph of your paper is the introduction, and should include
both an attention grabber and your thesis statement.
Papers written in the APA style must document sources in the body of the paper.When
applying direct quotes, try to use the sandwich technique. Introduce the author or the text, and
then write out the quote in quotation marks, followed by an explanation or analysis in your own
words of what the quote means to your research. Never begin or end a paragraph with a quote
without introduction and explanation. Here is an example: According to the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2009), Each year, about 1.3 million women in the United
States have an abortion to end a pregnancy (p. 4). Such a high number suggests that abortion is
becoming more common place in the United States.You want to make sure that YOUR voice isthe dominate one in your workuse the sources to back up your assertions.
Your final paragraph is your conclusion. Use this paragraph to restate your main points
and your thesis statement. I also suggest using the conclusion to either relate back to your
attention grabber in your introduction or to point to a greater significance within your chosen
topic.
