Title of your Paper

            Use this template when writing a paper per APA seven. The first section of your paper is the introduction. Every paragraph and every section need to have a topic sentence. The topic sentence in your first paragraph of your first section should highlight the main ideas of the entire paper. The main ideas in your paper will then be discussed under the section headings associated with each idea. When you enter text, ensure you indent your paraphraphs and write in complete sentences. Did you notice there is no page header, other than the page number? There is no abstract, either. This formatting is consistent with APA seven student paper requirements.

First Topic Main Idea

            The name of the sections is something you will decide. It should come from your topic sentence. Remember to write in complete sentences in well-developed paragraphs. Before moving to the next section, you should write a transitioning sentence to connect the ideas of the current section and the next section.

Second Topic Main Idea

            Just like the previous section, only now you will write about the second main idea that was identified in your main topic sentence. Remember to write in complete sentences in well-developed paragraphs. Before moving to the next section, you should write a transitioning sentence to connect the ideas of the current section and the next section.

Third Topic Main Idea

            Just like the previous section, only now you will write about the third main idea that was identified in your main topic sentence. Remember to write in complete sentences in well-developed paragraphs. Before moving to the next section, you should write a transitioning sentence to connect the ideas of the current section and the next section.

Conclusion

            The conclusion is similar to the introduction in many ways. Here you’ll restate the topic sentence but in different words. You will summarize and highlight anything that you would like the reader to take special note of. Remember to write in complete sentences in well-developed paragraphs.

References

References are entered on a separate page, as shown here. A hanging indent is used. The references should be entered in alphabetical order, in APA 7. An example is shown here. There is a page break between the previous page and the section header Reference. I have provided this reference as an example of a journal reference formatted per APA 7.
