Please read carefully & Take your time
For your major assessment, you will be required to write a six page (three pages of text) research paper in APA style relating to either early literacy, adult literacy, or literacy in other non k-12 settings. You must use at least three peer-reviewed
articles as sources. Be sure to give proper credit for sources of your work and cite all informational sources. If you didn’t
say it, it should be in quotation marks and cited in the
references.
****GENERAL APA GUIDELINES***
Your essay should be typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″, with 1″ margins on all sides. Include a page header (also known as the “running head”) at the top of every page. For a professional paper, this includes your paper title and the page number. For a student paper, this only includes the page number. To create a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type
“TITLE OF YOUR PAPER” in the header flush left using all capital
letters. The running head is a shortened version of your paper’s title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation.
***Font***
The 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual requires that the chosen font be accessible (i.e., legible) to all readers and that it be used consistently throughout the paper. It acknowledges that many font choices are legitimate, and it advises writers to check with their publishers, instructors, or institutions for guidance in cases of uncertainty.
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author’s name, and the institutional affiliation. A professional paper should also include the author note. A student paper should also include the course number and name, instructor name, and assignment due date.
Type your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page.
The title should be centered and written in boldface. APA recommends that your title be focused and succinct and that it should not contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose. Your title may take up one or two lines. All text on the title page, and throughout your paper, should be double-spaced.
Beneath the title, type the author’s name: first name, middle initial(s), and last name.
Do not use titles (Dr.) or degrees (PhD).
Beneath the author’s name, type the institutional affiliation, which should indicate the location where the authors) conducted the research.
