Guided Essay:
- Start with an introduction: this should be at least 3-5 sentences that summarize the main idea behind your essay. You will identify which topic you selected and make your main point.
- Next you move into the body of your essay. Here you will write at least 3 paragraphs that outline specific evidence supporting your main point.
- Finally, wrap it all up in a nice conclusion. This will be at least 3-5 sentences that summarizes your main point and evidence. Do not just repeat your introduction or use exact sentences from your body paragraphs.
- Finish with references! Now that you’ve had some practice with APA formatting, be sure to provide references in that format.
