An APA formatted paper is created using one-inch margins at the top, bottom, left, and
right sides. APA papers are always double spaced. Paragraphs are indented ½ inch. Just type the
TAB key once. The body of your paper consists of the information you researched on your
paper’s topic in order to support your own position or thesis.
If the information in your paper is not your own original thought, you need to include an
in-text citation and a references page to give credit to the original author of the idea. Your paper
should include direct quotes and paraphrasing. You will notice in this paper, there are several
different types of in-text citations, and they have been created using correct APA formatting for
in-text citations.
Types of In-Text Citations
In-text citations are used when you paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to
information you’ve learned during your research. The first two in-text citations in this paper are
examples of how to set up in-text citations when you’re paraphrasing, summarizing, or referring
to the information from a source rather than copying text word for word. They demonstrate how
to give credit to the author. For the first type of citation, place the author’s last name and the year
of publication at the end of the sentence in parenthesis (Reed, 2005). Notice the comma and
space after the author’s name and notice the period for the sentence is after the final parentheses.
Another variation is when you use the author’s name at the beginning of the sentence. In the
following sentence, you will notice that Mary Nelson’s last name only appears at the beginning
of the sentence; therefore, the in-text citation immediately follows her name. According to
Nelson (2005), the use of APA formatting for in-text citations is very easy to complete.

Assignment 3b: Threats Defense Argument
Due in Week 10 and worth 100 points
The information you provided in your presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at
the UN General Assembly! There are now questions about prioritizing the issues at hand. Some of the countries are
challenging your recommendations and questioning your reasons for not including the issues they believe are priority.
From the initial eight global threats, there are four remaining threats that you did not choose in the list of major global
issues. Review the list of topics and reflect on two that you did not use in last week’s assignment. Defend your reason for
considering these topics lower in priority than the ones in your presentation.
Energy sources Civil war
Globalization Poor health of entire populations

Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.
2nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)
3rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)
4th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)
5th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)
6th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)
7th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals
8th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement
9th paragraph is titled Student Concerns
10th paragraph is titled Conclusion
Beginning the conclusion with phrases like "in closing," "in summary" or "in conclusion" is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.
References
The word “References”, is centered, in bold, at the top of the page. The reference list should appear at the end of the paper, on a separate page. Review h ...

weaknesses, and what you can do to improve.
2. Provide examples of occasions during your career when you demonstrated your strengths and
when your weaknesses came into play.
Your assignment should adhere to these guidelines:
Write in a logical, well-organized, conventional business style. Use Times New Roman font size
12 or similar, double space, and leave ample white space per page.
All references must follow JWMI style guide and works must be cited appropriately. Check with
your professor for any additional instructions on citations.
On the first page or in a header, include the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the
professor’s name, the course title, and the date. Reference pages are not included in the
assignment page length.
Faculty have discretion to penalize for assignments over or under the assignment guidelines.
Check with your individual professor if you feel the assignment requires a much longer or shorter
treatment than recommended.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and
language and writing skills, using the following rubric.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Grand Canyon University
American Psychological Association [APA] Style Guide for WritingIntroduction
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing written assignments, except where otherwise noted. GCU has made APA templates and other resources available within the Student Success Center; therefore, students are not required to purchase the APA manual.
PLEASE NOTE:
The curriculum materials (Syllabus, Lectures/Readings, Resources, etc.) created and provided by GCU in the online or Web-enhanced modalities are prepared using an editorial format that relies on APA as a framework but that modifies some formatting criteria to better suit the nature and purpose of instructional materials. Students and faculty are advised that GCU course materials do not adhere strictly to APA format and should not be used as examples of correct APA format when preparing written work for class.
APA Format and Style
General
Academic writing, which is independent thought supported by reliable and relevant research, depends on the ability to integrate and cite the sources that have been consulted. Use APA style for all references, in-text citations, formatting, etc.
Write in first- and second-person sparingly, if ever. This means, avoid using I, we, and you; instead, use he, she, and they. Do not use contractions.Paper Format
1) Use standard-sized paper of 8.5″ x 11″.
2) Margins should be 1″ all around (top, bottom, left, right).
3) Use Times New Roman 12-point font.
4) For emphasis, use italics (not quotation marks, bold, etc.).
5) Double-space.
6) Align the text flush left. Organization
The basic organization of an APA-style paper includes the title page, abstract, body, and reference section, though students are encouraged to follow any specific directions given in their Overview assignment.
Title Page
The title page includes four elements that should be centered in the middle of the page: title, author byline, institutional affiliation followed by the course prefix and number (e.g., Grand Canyon University: PSY 351), and date of submission. Please note that even though APA does not require the date on a title page, it is a requirement for GCU papers.
Being the first page, the title page is where to set up your page header, which includes the running head and the page number. The running head—an abbreviated title that is a maximum of 50 characters—should appear flush left in all uppercase letters in the header on all pages. Page numbers should be in the header, flush right.
To format your running head and page numbers in Microsoft Word 2010, click InsertHeader Blank. In the header box that shows up, type Running head: ABBREVIATED TITLE HERE. After the title, tab over till the cursor is at the right margin, highlight the space, and click InsertPage Number and select Current PositionPlain Number.

MLA (Modern Language Association) Style formatting is often used in various humanities disciplines.
In addition to the handbook, MLA also offers The MLA Style Center, a website that provides additional instruction and resources for writing and formatting academic papers. https://style.mla.org/
What is MLA?
The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th ed. supersedes both the 7th edition handbook and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, 3rd ed. The style of documentation outlined in the 8th edition serves the needs of students who are writing research papers, as well as scholars who publish professionally. This presentation will mostly focus on MLA formatting and style concerns that affect writing research papers.
MLA style is often used in the following disciplines: humanities, languages, literature, linguistics, philosophy, communication, religion, and others.
MLA format provides writers with a uniform format for document layout and documenting sources. Proper MLA style shows that writers are conscientious of the standards of writing in their respective disciplines. Properly documenting sources also ensures that an author is not plagiarizing.

What does MLA regulate?
This slide presents three basic areas regulated by MLA students need to be aware of—document format, in-text citations, and works cited. The following slides provide detailed explanations regarding each area.

The 8th edition handbook introduces a new way to cite sources. Instead of a long list of rules, MLA guidelines are now based on a set of principles that may be used to cite any type of source.
The three guiding principles:
Cite simple traits shared by most works.Remember that there is more than one way to cite the same source.Make your documentation useful to readers.
MLA Update 2016
Principle 1: In previous versions of the MLA Handbook, an entry in the works-cited list was based on the source’s publication format (book, periodical, Web article, etc.). The issue with that system is that a work in a new type of medium could not be properly ci.

According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e., professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one of the most important objectives of a business education. To help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a professional writing style. The following sections discuss and are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include all details of APA.
General Manuscript Format

Page numbers are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones. Headings

Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length. Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.
MEAL:
Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.
Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.
Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.
Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.
Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.
1st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)
This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.
2nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)
3rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)
4th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)
5th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)
6th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)
7th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals
8th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement
9th paragraph is titled Student Concerns
10th paragraph is titled Conclusion
Beginning the conclusion with phrases like "in closing," "in summary" or "in conclusion" is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.
References
The word “References”, is centered, in bold, at the top of the page. The reference list should appear at the end of the paper, on a separate page. Review h ...

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Grand Canyon UniversityAmerican Psychological Association [APA] St.docxshericehewat
Grand Canyon University
American Psychological Association [APA] Style Guide for WritingIntroduction
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing written assignments, except where otherwise noted. GCU has made APA templates and other resources available within the Student Success Center; therefore, students are not required to purchase the APA manual.
PLEASE NOTE:
The curriculum materials (Syllabus, Lectures/Readings, Resources, etc.) created and provided by GCU in the online or Web-enhanced modalities are prepared using an editorial format that relies on APA as a framework but that modifies some formatting criteria to better suit the nature and purpose of instructional materials. Students and faculty are advised that GCU course materials do not adhere strictly to APA format and should not be used as examples of correct APA format when preparing written work for class.
APA Format and Style
General
Academic writing, which is independent thought supported by reliable and relevant research, depends on the ability to integrate and cite the sources that have been consulted. Use APA style for all references, in-text citations, formatting, etc.
Write in first- and second-person sparingly, if ever. This means, avoid using I, we, and you; instead, use he, she, and they. Do not use contractions.Paper Format
1) Use standard-sized paper of 8.5″ x 11″.
2) Margins should be 1″ all around (top, bottom, left, right).
3) Use Times New Roman 12-point font.
4) For emphasis, use italics (not quotation marks, bold, etc.).
5) Double-space.
6) Align the text flush left. Organization
The basic organization of an APA-style paper includes the title page, abstract, body, and reference section, though students are encouraged to follow any specific directions given in their Overview assignment.
Title Page
The title page includes four elements that should be centered in the middle of the page: title, author byline, institutional affiliation followed by the course prefix and number (e.g., Grand Canyon University: PSY 351), and date of submission. Please note that even though APA does not require the date on a title page, it is a requirement for GCU papers.
Being the first page, the title page is where to set up your page header, which includes the running head and the page number. The running head—an abbreviated title that is a maximum of 50 characters—should appear flush left in all uppercase letters in the header on all pages. Page numbers should be in the header, flush right.
To format your running head and page numbers in Microsoft Word 2010, click InsertHeader Blank. In the header box that shows up, type Running head: ABBREVIATED TITLE HERE. After the title, tab over till the cursor is at the right margin, highlight the space, and click InsertPage Number and select Current PositionPlain Number.

MLA (Modern Language Association) Style formatting is often used in various humanities disciplines.
In addition to the handbook, MLA also offers The MLA Style Center, a website that provides additional instruction and resources for writing and formatting academic papers. https://style.mla.org/
What is MLA?
The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th ed. supersedes both the 7th edition handbook and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, 3rd ed. The style of documentation outlined in the 8th edition serves the needs of students who are writing research papers, as well as scholars who publish professionally. This presentation will mostly focus on MLA formatting and style concerns that affect writing research papers.
MLA style is often used in the following disciplines: humanities, languages, literature, linguistics, philosophy, communication, religion, and others.
MLA format provides writers with a uniform format for document layout and documenting sources. Proper MLA style shows that writers are conscientious of the standards of writing in their respective disciplines. Properly documenting sources also ensures that an author is not plagiarizing.

What does MLA regulate?
This slide presents three basic areas regulated by MLA students need to be aware of—document format, in-text citations, and works cited. The following slides provide detailed explanations regarding each area.

The 8th edition handbook introduces a new way to cite sources. Instead of a long list of rules, MLA guidelines are now based on a set of principles that may be used to cite any type of source.
The three guiding principles:
Cite simple traits shared by most works.Remember that there is more than one way to cite the same source.Make your documentation useful to readers.
MLA Update 2016
Principle 1: In previous versions of the MLA Handbook, an entry in the works-cited list was based on the source’s publication format (book, periodical, Web article, etc.). The issue with that system is that a work in a new type of medium could not be properly ci.

Many TV shows depict law enforcement personnel accessing readily accessible databases that contain all types of records about individuals –records about everything from address to telephone records to finances, insurance, and criminal history. The information you share with your bank, doctor, insurance agent, the TSA, ancestry kit companies, and on social media can make your life an open book. Here are some questions to address as you reflect on this:
1. Are you comfortable with giving away some of your privacy for increased security? Why or why not? How far would you let the government go in examining people's private lives?
2. How much access should we have to certain aspects of others' private lives? For example, should States share criminal databases? But should a database of people paroled or released for crimes be made public? Why or why not?

In this chapter, Collins begins the process of identifying and further developing from the research those unique factors and variables that differentiated the good and great companies. One of the most significant differences, he asserts, is the quality and nature of leadership in the firm. Collins initially told the research team to downplay the role of top executives in the good-to-great process. It became obvious that there was something different that these leaders did. Collins went on to identify "Level 5 leadership" as a common characteristic of the great companies assessed in the study. By further studying the behaviors and attitudes of so-called Level 5 leaders, Collins found that many of those classified in this group displayed an unusual mix of intense determination and profound humility. Characteristics used to describe these leaders included words like quiet, humble, modest, gracious, and understated. Yet there was also the stoic resolve and an unwavering determination evident. They were low-key executives, rarely appearing in the media, who demonstrated a relentless drive for results. These leaders often had a long-term personal sense of investment in the company and its success, often cultivated through a career-spanning climb up the company’s ranks. The personal ego and individual financial gain were not as important as the long-term benefit of the team and the company. As such, Collins warned of the liability involved in employing a bigger-than-life charismatic leader —personalities often brought in from outside the company or organization by a board seeking a high profile figure. The data suggested that a celebrity CEO brought in to turn around a flailing firm was usually not conducive to fostering the transition from
Good to Great
(Collins, 2001).
Why is this important?
Collins was asked and did not want to use "servant leader" for the Level 5 leader (Lichtenwalner, 2012). The team chose the term, “Level 5 Leadership” over Servant Leadership, in part, for fear readers would misinterpret the concept as “servitude” or “weakness.” In his mind, this position looked like something else. And so a new leadership phrase was born. What is interesting is that many but not all of the leaders profiled had a faith background. Lichtenwalner, (2012) in his research suggests that Servant Leadership is a key aspect of Level 5 Leadership. But perhaps it is not the technique but the heart and faith of the leader that had such a signifi.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced,It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

Compare and contrast the two poems below:
LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (APA) began as a
journal article in 1929. Today, the Publication Manual is in its
seventh edition and the APA style
described in it is a widely recognized standard for scholarly or
professional writing in the social
sciences. Although the style guide is designed to prepare
manuscripts for publication, many

universities and health care journals have adopted its use as a
guide to achieve uniformity and
consistency (Cuddy, 2002). Writing in the style prescribed by
the Publication Manual can be a
daunting experience for students. As with any new skill,
“practice makes perfect”
(S. Proofreader, personal communication, June 28, 2004). Points
of APA style most often used
6. by undergraduate and graduate students are listed below.
However, keep in mind that this sample
paper is a guide and should not be considered as a replacement
for the Publication Manual.
Format Considerations
Level one heading: Centered,

letters.
Some commonly used rules and formats from the seventh
edition of the Publication
Manual are listed below. Please note, however, that some
assignments may require unique
formatting, and you should consult your syllabus for
clarification.
Correct Margins
Margins are one inch on all sides. This rule is broken only to
avoid placing a lone
heading on the last line of the page or a single line of text on
the top of the next page.
Page Header
7. The page header contains the page number aligned with the
right margin. The automatic
header function in Microsoft® Word should be used to place the
page numbers consecutively in
the paper (see Appendix A). Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, and so
on) are used to number each page,
beginning with 1 on the title page.

Document Headings
Paragraph headings should be used in long documents to
organize the essay, to break it
up into readable portions, and to make it easy for readers to
locate information. Using headings
in a short document before every paragraph can make the
writing appear choppy, and the paper
may not flow smoothly from point to point. Use paragraph
headings if your document is longer
than three or four pages or if the assignment instructions require
paragraph headings.
Reference Page
Hanging indentation is used for the reference page. The proper
format can be set in
Microsoft® Word (see Appendix B). Creating the hanging
indentation by using the tab key or
space bar will not protect the formatting if changes are made to
10. the reference page later. The
reference page is alphabetized by author or by title of the work
when no author is listed, and each
entry contains the date of publication in parentheses directly
after the author’s name. The title,
the name of the publisher follows the date of publication for a
book entry. The proliferation of
electronic materials has prompted APA to create formats
designed specifically for Internet and
web-based written material. Visit the APA website for
additional information about formatting
electronic references. You will also find frequently asked
questions and helpful free tutorials
about using APA style.
Only references that have been cited in the paper are listed on
the reference page.
Personal communications are cited in the text but do not appear
on the reference page because
the reader cannot retrieve them. Additional reference examples
are available in the Reference
and Citation Examples in the Center for Writing Excellence
(CWE).

12. Direct quotations must mirror the original source word for
word, even if errors are
contained in the original text. To alert the reader that errors are
part of the original material, the
word [sic], enclosed in brackets and italicized, must foll ow the
erroneous material. The source of
the quotation must be cited. The format of direct quotations may
vary with the placement of the
quoted material in the sentence. The following is an example of
how you may use a direct
quotation from a website with an author: “Diversity is emerging
as one of the most serious issues
in the workplace today, yet most employers are not prepared to
deal with it” (Copeland, 2003,
Erroneous Assumptions, para. 1). The author’s last name, the
year of publication, the website
title or section title, and the paragraph number, when no page
number is available, are included
in the citation.
The following is an example of how one may use a direct
quotation from a book with one
author: Venes (2001) stated, “The types of influenza doctors
13. must prepare for fall into three
categories” (p. 106). If the author’s name is stated prior to the
quotation, include the date of
publication (in parentheses) after the author’s name, and follow
the quotation with the page or
paragraph number. For a work with three or more authors,
include the name of only the first
author and the abbreviation “et al.” in every in-text citation,
including the first time a citation
appears. Refer to the Reference and Citation Examples
resources in the CWE for more examples
of in-text citations.
Quotations that contain fewer than 40 words are enclosed in
double quotation marks
within the text. Use single quotation marks for quotations
contained within a direct quotation.
Quotations of 40 words or more are indented in a block format
without quotation marks. Use
double quotation marks to indicate a quotation within the block
quotation. The block quotation is

started on a new line, and it is indented five to seven spaces or
one-half inch. A sample block
quotation appears on page 7 of this document.
Paraphrased or summarized material
Paraphrasing or summarizing allows the writer to present
someone else’s ideas or
intellectual property and to supply proper credit to the original
author or authors (Lawton, et al.,
2001). When an author is paraphrased or summarized, the
source must be cited in the text. If a
source is mentioned more than once in a paragraph, a citation
must be included each time. Page
15. or paragraph numbers are not required for paraphrased material,
but the Publication Manual
recommends that writers include a page or paragraph number to
help the reader easily locate the
information (APA, 2020, p. 269). If a writer were to paraphrase
information from an article
located in an online database, the writer would format the
citation as follows: Daniels (2004)
included Darden Restaurants on her list of the 50 best
companies for minorities. Here is an
example where the author is not mentioned within the text: A
list of companies has been singled
out as best for minority employees (Daniels, 2004). Both
examples include the author’s last
name and the date of publication. If the author’s name is not
provided with the paraphrased text,
it must be included in the citation. Refer to the Reference and
Citation resources in the CWE at
for examples of citing paraphrased material.
Deciding to summarize, to paraphrase, or to provide a direct
quotation is an important
question one must consider when using sources in an academic
paper. Summarizing and
16. paraphrasing both consist of sharing a source author’s ideas by
phrasing them in one’s own
words. A writer should summarize or paraphrase source material
when it is important to capture
the basic idea but when the author’s exact words are not
essential to the paper. Conversely, a
writer should quote directly when the source verbiage is crucial
and stating it any other way

18. would cause it to lose its meaning. Usually writers will quote
authors who are experts in their
field and whose ideas support their own. However, excessive
use of direct quotations should be
avoided. Writers are encouraged to paraphrase when doing so
will not change the meaning or the
impact of a source (Ede, 2011).
Plagiarism
Plagiarism constitutes a serious academic concern. According to
Lawton et al. (2001),

19. “Academic communities demand that writers credit others for
their work and that the source of
their material clearly be acknowledged” (para. 6). Internet
access has resulted in an increase in
plagiarism. McCabe noted (as cited in Sterngold, 2004), 41% of
students said they engaged in
cut-and-paste plagiarism from online sources. The sentences and
phrases used in one’s paper
must be original or cited and referenced accordingly. Although
it may be easier for a writer to
use someone else’s words, doing so discredits the writer. When
in doubt, cite. See the plagiaris
resources in the CWE for more information about avoiding
plagiarism and about properly citing
intellectual property.
Other Format Issues
The recommended typeface for APA style is one accessible to
all users. Fonts such as
black, 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 10-point Lucida Sans
Unicode, 12-point Times New
Roman, 11-point Georgia, or 10-point Computer Modern black,
12-point Times New Roman are
20. acceptable. Avoid using any software settings that reduce
spacing between words or letters or
that add spacing between paragraphs. Use double-spacing
throughout the document. Use one
space after sentence-ending punctuation in the body of your
essay.

precede the text, an
abstract is not used in most student papers. Some assignments

are submitting lengthy papers or project proposals. In those
cases, the direction to submit an
abstract will be in the assignment guidelines. A sample abstract
can be found in the CWE.
Writing Mechanics
Correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence
structure—in addition to
21. formatting—are essential components of scholarly writing.
Strunk (1918/1999) emphasized the
Block quotation (40 or more words): Indent to the tab margin
and do not include quotation marks.
The in-text citation occurs outside of the punctuation that ends
the sentence.
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no
unnecessary words, a
paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a
drawing should have no
unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This
requires not that the writer
make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat
his subjects only in
outline, but that every word tell. (para. 1)
Grammar
In addition to the provision of a standardized format for
scientific writing, the Publication
Manual (2010) emphasizes the importance of proper grammar.
Important basic grammar
principles are listed below. For further information, refer to the
grammar resources in the CWE.
22. Subject and Verb Agreement
A singular noun requires a singular verb and a plural noun
requires a plural verb (APA,
2010). Words that intervene between the noun and the verb do
not change this basic rule.
Noun and Pronoun Agreement
APA recommends the use of “they” as a generic third-person
pronoun to ensure that the
writing is inclusive and bias-free. For example, the sentence “A
student applying for a job must
carefully proofread his/her application” may be reworded to
read, “A student applying for jobs
8
Copyright 2020 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved.
must carefully proofread their application.” Use of the singular
“they” helps writers reduce bias,
avoid stereotypes, and refrain from making assumptions about
gender.
23. Passive Voice
Passive voice obscures the actor in this sentence: “The house
was painted,” because it
omits who applied the paint. In contrast, the same sentence
written in active voice would be
something such as this: “Our company painted the house.” The
passive voice, which is a form of
“be” (is, was, were, will be, have been, etc.) and a participle
(painted, etc.), is useful when the
actor's identity is not important to the sentence or context.
Overuse of the passive voice causes
the document to read similarly to an instructional manual, dry
and monotonous. According to
Sigel (2009), it weakens the essay’s argument and prevents
clear and concise writing. Occasional
use of the passive voice is acceptable, but documents written
primarily in the active voice are
more enjoyable and more persuasive to read (Sigel, 2009).
Punctuation
Correct punctuation establishes the rhythm and readability of
sentences. Use only one
space after commas, colons, and semicolons. Use one space
24. after a period at the end of a
sentence. When a hyphen or a dash is used, no space appears
before or after the hyphen or dash
(APA, 2010). In academic writing, use a comma to separate all
words in a series of three or
more, as in the following example: Tasks included reading,
writing, and analyzing the
information in the text. Correct use of commas and semicolons
can be challenging for students.
Writers should consider using a proofreading tool to aid in
checking proper comma use. Please
check the CWE for a list of proofreading and grammar checking
tools.
Capitalization
9
Copyright 2020 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved.
Capitalization is used to designate a proper noun or trade name
as well as major words in
titles and in headings. Instances where capitalization is not used
include laws, theories, models,
25. or hypotheses, such as ethical decision-making models and
names of conditions or groups in an
experiment, such as experimental or control groups (APA,
2010). A common error in
capitalization is its use with the name of a job title or
department. An example is human
resources, which is not capitalized, versus the specific title of
ACME Human Resources
Department, which is capitalized.
Seriation (Elements Written in a Series)
Items contained in a list help to clarify the point being made or
help to clarify
components of a subject. Lettered, numbered, and bulleted lists
may be used in academic writing
according to APA standards (2020). To show seriation of
separate paragraphs, however, number
each paragraph with an Arabic numeral followed by a period
that is not enclosed in or followed
by parentheses. To show seriation within a paragraph or a
sentence, use lowercase letters in
parentheses (see Appendix C).
Numbers
26. Spell out numbers one through nine that appear in the body text.
Use Arabic numerals to
express numbers 10 and above. Exceptions to this rule are
discussed in the APA Style 7th Edition
Numbers and Statistics Quick Guide.
Third Person Versus First Person
Person refers to the point of view or the source of the writer’s
opinions. Use third person
(they) in academic writing. When referring to yourself,
however, stating “The writer instructed
the patients” is ambiguous and may give the impression that you
did not participate. Instead, use

guide.pdf
https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/numbers-statistics-
guide.pdf
10
Copyright 2020 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved.
Always include a conclusion that summarizes
the main points of the paper.
27. a first-person personal pronoun: “I instructed the patients.” For
the most part, reference to self in
first person should be limited to personal reflection or opinion
papers.
Conclusion
By understanding mechanics and usage requirements and by
referencing materials
appropriately with in-text citations and reference entries, you
will clearly communicate the
content of your work. Use the information included in this paper
to develop effective academic
papers. You are also encouraged to refer to the resources in the
CWE and the style information
from www.apastyle.org for additional information about
academic writing.
