What did you learn about APA and citations from the preparation video?

What did you learn about editing & proofreading?

Separate processes; do not edit while writing; both will be repeated several times; read text and changes out loud; have a friend or person unfamiliar with your topic read it to see if it makes sense; have someone strong in language/grammar read it to help you spot mistakes; always set the spell and grammar check to the language you're writing in; save the document often and sometimes email a copy to yourself so you don't lose your work; if you have multiple people look at it, send them each a word document with a different name and keep track of it; keep your own working copy so you can decide what changes to make/nobody else's changes will go undetected.

What goes in the introduction?

General to specific; hook, outline, link to TS. All main ideas that will be addressed should be clear. About 8-10% length of your paper.

What goes in the conclusion?

About 8-10% of your paper. Conclusive summary neatly tying the main ideas together that links to the TS; address paper limits + include any action or recommendations needed. No new information that you have not already answered/analyzed. Answer questions, don't ask them (unless that is specifically the goal of the assignment!)

Let's write!

Finish writing as much as you can from the entire task: introduction, body paragraph(s), and conclusion. Remember to apply T.E.X.A.S, use a thesis statement and APA referencing. Done? Edit/proofread!
