Title of Paper
Triple click your mouse anywhere in this paragraph to replace
this text with your introduction. Often the most important
paragraph in the entire essay, the introduction grabs the reader's
attention—sometimes a difficult task for academic writing.
When writing an introduction, some approaches are best
avoided. Avoid starting sentences with “The purpose of this
essay is . . .” or “In this essay I will . . .” or any similar flat
announcement of your intention or topic. Read more: Center for
Writing Excellence>Tutorials and Guides>Essay
Development>Guidelines for Writing Academic Essays.
Level One Heading
Replace the level one heading with the words for your heading.
The heading must be in bold font. Headings are a necessary part
of helping your audience track the sub-topics discussed in the
body of the essay or report.
Be sure to indent the first line of each paragraph between five
and seven spaces by pressing the Tab key one time on the
keyboard. In addition, remember to double space the entire
paper using the double space functionality in Word. This
template is already formatted for double spacing. Read more:
Center for Writing Excellence>Tutorials and Guides>Software
Tutorials and Guides>Formatting Tutorial for APA.
In addition, keep in mind an academic essay should contain at
least five paragraphs, which includes the introduction
(introductory paragraph), the body (which is generally at least 3
paragraphs), and the conclusion (generally one paragraph). Most
well-developed paragraphs contain at least 3-5 sentences, one of
8. which is the topic sentence. Limit each body paragraph to one
sub-topic.
Level Two Heading
Replace the level two heading with the words for your heading.
The heading must be in bold font. Read more about APA
headings on the APA Style Blog.
Conclusion
The closing paragraph is designed to bring the reader to your
way of thinking if you are writing a persuasive essay, to
understand relationships if you are writing a
comparison/contrast essay, or simply to value the information
you provide in an informational essay. The closing paragraph
summarizes the key points from the supporting paragraphs
without introducing any new information.
References
This is a hanging indent. To keep the hanging indent format,
triple click your mouse on this line of text and replace the
information with your reference entry. You can use the
Reference and Citation Examples (Center for Writing
Excellence>Tutorials and Guides>Reference and Citation
Examples) to help format your source information into a
reference entry.
The reference page always begins on the top of the next page
after the conclusion.
