2nd Synthesis Paper General Revision Guidelines

****************************************************************************** Remember, your final draft will have a cover page as well as a reference page. It is optional for the 1st.

However you do need a working title. Try to be as specific as you can. Avoid using a question, as well as just words. Make a statement as to what your paper focuses on. For example:

The Disastrous Consequences of Not Using Turn Signals

****************************************************************************** Remember, I asked you to identify the author, date, title, source, and website. For APA in-text citation: In-text citations: When you cite a reference within your text, use one of the following:

Last name (year) or (Last name, year)

For example: • According to Fenske (2015), the purpose of writing a research paper.... • The purpose of writing a research paper is to enjoy delving into and learning about a new

topic (Fenske, 2015). (Please notice where the period “.” is.)

****************************************************************************** As you know, all papers need to have an Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. Remember to refer to the Immigration Revision sheet for the basic organization.

Remember: • In your introduction, you need a hook, background info, and a clear Thesis Statements • Each body paragraph, should have a clear Topic Sentence that stems from the Thesis

Statement. Each TS should then be supported by at least two (2) relevant citations. • Your conclusion should restate the thesis statement, summarize the main points, and

then offer some kind of “final thought.”

****************************************************************************** Your final draft will also have an APA-type format for the reference page. For this draft all you need to do is have the last page include:

• the title • the author (Last name, First name) • the date • the source • the website
