Fruits

This is a paper about fruits. This paragraph is an introduction, but you never have a heading labeled introduction in APA format. At the top of the page is the title of the paper, centered, bold, and in title case, followed by this introductory paragraph. Everything in an academic paper should be written in third person. The introduction must include a thesis statement that informs the reader of the paper’s purpose. It is usually easy to determine what should be included in the thesis statement by reviewing the assignment instructions and the grading rubric for the assignment. This paper will describe two major types of fruits, apples and pears, and inform the reader of several different varieties of each.

Apples

This is a major section about apples. The heading is centered, title case, and bold, because this is the first major section. Proverbs 25:11 (New International Version, 2011/1973) says, “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given.” (Note that you can find the reference information for a Bible verse on BibleGateway.com by clicking on the list of Bible versions, clicking on the version you are citing, and then scrolling to the bottom and clicking on Copyright.) Author et al. (Year) wrote that “this is a quotation about apples” (p. XX). If there are three or more authors, from the very first citation, the writer only needs to include the last name of the first author and then ‘et al.’, which means ‘and others’. If the authors’ names and year are included at the beginning, then you include a page number citation at the end if you have quoted the authors. If you paraphrased, only the authors and year are required (no page number citation). Note the placement of the punctuation in the citation. If you do not include the author and year in the text of the sentence, you put it all together in a citation at the end (Author et al., Year). You only need one or the other.

Gala

This is a subsection on Gala applies. If you quote the authors about apples, you format it “Words about Gala apples by these authors” (Author et al., Year, p. XX). Note that the page number is used in the citation only if it is a quotation. Every section should contain at least one paragraph, and paragraphs are always made up of multiple sentences.

Fuji

This is a subsection on Fuji applies. According to Author and Author (Year), this is a paraphrase of the two authors’ words about Fuji apples. Note that both authors are listed when there are two, and no page number citation was required because this was a paraphrase.

Honeycrisp

This is a subsection on Honeycrisp applies. Only one author wrote about Honeycrisp apples and this is a paraphrase of their words, so the citation is their last name and the year (Author, Year). If you use your own words about the subject, you do not need to write “I think,” “I believe,” or “In my opinion,” as anything that is not cited is your own words and ideas. If the words and ideas are not cited, but they are not your own ideas, that is plagiarism. State your ideas with confidence and use the words of others with attribution, and you will write a successful academic paper.

Pears

This is a major section about pears. First level headings are used for the major sections of the paper. Use parallelism to format your sections similarly. In the first section, you defined and described apples. You supported your ideas with Scripture and academic articles. Can’t find pears in the Bible? That’s okay. Every point doesn’t need Scriptural support. Maybe in this section, you could just make sure the Christian worldview is represented. It doesn’t have to be a quote from the Bible (unless the assignment instructions say you must!). At the end of every major section introduction, it is a good idea to have a mini-thesis, letting the reader know what will be covered. These transition statements help the reader to know what’s coming up. Similar to the apples section, this section will describe three of the ten varieties of pears, along with a divison of Anjou pears into two separate varieties.

Anjou

This is a subsection on Anjou pears. Since it is the section that comes after a major section, the heading is left-justified, bold, and title case. This section would explain how there are two different types of Anjou pears. Because Green and Red Anjou pears are described below the secondary level heading of Anjou, they will use third level headings, which are italicized.

Green Anjou

This is a subsection on Green Anjou pears. Green Anjou is capitalized because it is a proper noun. On its own, the color green would not be capitalized, since it is an adjective, not a proper noun.

Note the spacing in this paper. Everything is double spaced with no extra space before/after paragraphs. Under ‘Layout’ in Word, you will see there is 0 pt. in the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ spacing of the paragraph. In addition, note that there is always one space after every period in an APA-formatted paper, including in the references.

Red Anjou

This is a subsection of Anjou on Red Anjou pears. Remember that your work requires citations for every idea that was discovered through outside sources. If you didn’t know it before you read it, you need to cite it.

Use an Oxford (serial) comma in lists. For example, if you listed Anjou, Bartlett, and Bosc pears, note that there is a comma before the ‘and’ in the list. Note the outline below and observe how the headings change when the level changes in the outline.

Bartlett

This is a subsection on Bartlett pears. Note that since it is a second level under the major heading of pears, it is not italicized. You should organize your papers in an outline before you begin writing, with first-level (main) sections, second-level sections, and depending on the length of the paper, third-level sections. You do not include your outline in the paper unless you are required to include a table of contents (check the assignment description). This example outline for this paper is to help you to understand how to organize your work.

c. Bosc

III. Conclusion

Bosc

This is a subsection on Bosc pears. Definitions and descriptions from the literature are used to help the reader to understand the topic and are required in an academic paper. Avoid writing about your opinion. Don’t use big words and long sentences in an attempt to impress your reader. Define your terms and use those same terms throughout. Review the assignment instructions and make certain that you have met all of the requirements.

Conclusion

Using the thesis statement presented in the introduction, make sure that you covered each item and summarize the entire paper here. This is always only a summary of what was written about fruits. No additional information is added that was not covered in the paper.
