Introduction:
Open your paper with background information about your topic and lead into a thesis statement (about 1 page or long paragraph).
Body:
The body of your paper will include a brief summary and analysis of studies that support or refute your thesis statement (approximately 5-7 pages). There should be a subsequent discussion that summarizes your findings and explains how the sources are related to each other and to the thesis with final concluding remarks that discuss the findings, what these mean, and the implications for further research or for applications of the research to practical settings (approximately 2-4 pages).
References:
Your final paper should include 7 references (with the associated citations in text). At least 4 of your references must be reports of experiments or studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Other references may also be reports of studies or experiments or literature reviews and meta-analyses that are published in peer reviewed journals or edited chapters.
All in-text citations and references must be in current APA style.
Format:
Be sure to include an APA title page and reference page/s. This will not count toward the page requirements. Your reference pages will include an alphabetical listing of sources by the author’s last names. Do not include your annotations, just the references for this paper.
An abstract is not required, will not count toward the page requirements, but strongly encouraged if you believe that it will help you organize your paper or provide feedback to you about the organization of your paper.
The final paper should follow APA style and include:
*Title page
*Body of the Paper (9-12 pages). Title pages and reference sections are not included in the final page counts.
*References (without the annotations—at least 7 primary sources)
