Title of Your Essay

Start the first paragraph here, which should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about. Do not label this paragraph as “Introduction.” Instead, simply write your paper’s title as a level 1 heading: bold, centered, with title case.

Leadership Theory

Spend time planning your paper. A good practice is to brainstorm and research ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis and what to include. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to discuss or argue, create an outline or to help you organize your paper and the evidence you plan to present in each body paragraph.

Advantages of Theory

Remember to use and cite scholarly sources to support your work Additional Tips: Always begin with a topic sentence in your own words.

Disadvantages of Theory

Remember to use and cite scholarly sources to support your work Additional Tips: In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all information and evidence that is summarized, paraphrased, or quoted from outside sources.

Application to Current Position

Remember to use and cite scholarly sources to support your work Additional Tips: In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all information and evidence that is summarized, paraphrased, or quoted from outside sources.

Conclusion

You only need to label the conclusion with a heading as shown here if you have a lengthy paper and have included headings for each section. Otherwise, you can simply begin your conclusion as your final paragraph in your paper. The conclusion should do more than summarize what you’ve stated already—it should also include the importance or significance of the topic under discussion.
