Introduction. This paragraph does not have a title. The title page serves as the title. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short distinct sentences will be sufficient. Paragraphs should not be one page or longer in length.  Here is a model to help you. Use the acronym MEAL when writing paragraphs with APA 7th edition citations.

MEAL:

Main idea. Introduce the focus of the paragraph.

Evidence. Support the main idea with source information.

Analysis. Explain and analyze the source information.

Lead out. Conclude the topic, like a conclusion paragraph.

Remember that perfection is not the goal. There will be always room for improvement. Being detail oriented does not equal perfection; however, it enables you to move toward scholarship. Use LopesWrite to stress clear, concise, and research writing. Avoid Plagiarism and Direct Quotes.

1^st paragraph is titled Comprehension Strategies (Level 1 heading)

This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading is a short descriptor of a section.

2^nd paragraph is titled Graphic Organizers (cite a source)

3^rd paragraph is titled Independent Practice (cite a source)

4^th paragraph is titled Model-Lead Test (cite a source)

5^th paragraph is titled Peer Tutoring (cite a source)

6^th paragraph is titled Repeated Reading (cite a source)

7^th paragraph is titled Instructional Goals

8^th paragraph is titled Parent Involvement

9^th paragraph is titled Student Concerns

10^th paragraph is titled Conclusion

Beginning the conclusion with phrases like “in closing,” “in summary” or “in conclusion” is redundant and unnecessary. Scholarly writing includes three to seven sentences in a paragraph. However, three to five short and distinct sentences will be sufficient. Your conclusion does not contain any new information.

 

 

 

 

 

                                                               

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

References

The word “References”, is centered, in bold, at the top of the page. The reference list should appear at the end of the paper, on a separate page. Review how to properly format your references. You can review the APA Template.
