How to format an APA paper set it up
1 answer:
Hello. There are different pages in an APA Paper.
The first is the title page. I have inserted a picture of what to include in the title page, along with the format.
Next is the abstract. The abstract is where you talk about your topic, but in the terms of contemporary discussions and you go “off topic.”
EXAMPLE: thesis: homework in Canada versus other countries
Abstract: the history of homework and its benefits
Next would be the actual “essay” so to speak. The only abnormal thing is that you want to cite within the body of the text. So when you bring up a fact, at the end of the sentence you should have parenthesis that looks like this
…sentence (Publication, year).
Put the source, then the year the source was printed.
Then is the works cited page. If you use an automatic citation website, make sure that you are citing in APA Format.
Hope this helps. Here are some links that may give more information:
