The first step in using APA style is to understand what APA style is. To do that, we are going to start at the APA Style website, your digital home for all things related to APA. To complete Module One, please:
Module 1:
Familiarize yourself with the APA website.
Work your way through the Introducing the Basics of APA Style Tutorial. Take your time and get accustomed to how the tutorial works. Here is the link “https://extras.apa.org/apastyle/basics-7e/?_ga=2.19102008.1695701160.1674061662-439781352.1674061662#/”
Use what you’ve learned to create a new Word document with a properly formatted title page, giving it the title “My Mock APA Paper”
The second page of that document will be labeled “Abstract” top center (it is typical to wait until you have finished a paper before you write the abstract–and even the introduction–so for now, this will simply be a placeholder page).
The third page of the doc will be where your paper actually begins. Indicate that by re-typing the paper title (“My Mock APA Paper”) at the top of page three, (not in the header section) centered but not bold.
The last page in this doc will be labeled References. On that page, create your first entry–the first source you will be using in your mock paper. That source will be the tutorial you just finished. Creating a references list entry for a website is part of that tutorial, so you should have no problem.
Module 2: Sections and headings will be our focus for this Module. Please read and become familiar with Headings
Your mock APA paper will be about APA style. After all, the best way to learn something is to teach it. In that spirit, imagine you are writing a paper that explains the basics of APA style to someone just starting college.
Your mock paper will not address all the topics that could go into such a paper. Focus on the ones that are most important. To complete Module Two (continuing to add to the same Word document from Module One):
Create an open space beneath the paper’s title on page three. This is where your introduction will go, but we are not writing that until the end (in APA, the introduction is not labeled. It is assumed to be the intro because it is the first part of the paper)
Create three (3) level one headings in the body of the paper–following the space you have saved for your intro. Decide what these level one headings should be based on what you think are the three most important things a new student would need to know about APA. For example, you might have a level one heading titled “Why Use APA Style”
Each level one heading should be followed by 1 – 3 sentences of content that introduces what that section is going to be about.
Within each level one heading, create 2 – 3 level two headings. For example, under the level one heading of Why Use APA Style, you might have level two headings such as “To Create A Standard Appearance” and “To Give Credit To Our Sources.”
Add your second source to the References page (the “Headings” content you read for this module).
