Strayer University

Instructions: Delete my headings and all the instructions I have typed. Do NOT skip extra lines between paragraphs – only indent. Each heading that I list below can be multiple paragraphs (and probably will be to meet page requirements). Make sure to start a new paragraph when your focus shifts . Make sure to remove the bold and highlights.

Introduction Paragraph (Delete these headings and everything I have typed)

Place your introduction paragraph here. Provide a general overview of your topic. End with your thesis statement as your last sentence. Please underline your thesis statement. This intro should give an overview of your main assertion for the paper. For example (and you can choose to follow my suggested thesis here if you want): During the twentieth century the United States have become the "policemen" of the world through international incidents such as (then list your two chosen incidents here) and through changes in foreign policy after World War II.

Body Topic 1 (will be more than one paragraph): Begin with this sentence - "Two/Three (whichever fits your paper) international incidents from the last 5-10 years that the U.S. was involved in were - then list them. Then explain what each event was about, what the U.S. military action was, and public views/reactions. Each one will be its own paragraph. Remember it should be a MILITARY ACTION and should have occurred from 2006 to the present – no earlier!

Body Topic 2 (will be more than one paragraph):: Begin with this topic sentence - "Three aspects of U.S. history since 1865 that have led to the rise of the United States as world super power include - then list all three. Then go on to explain each factor in detail and with examples. Each aspect will be its own paragraph. (Remember this means three things that contributed to the U.S. BECOMING a super power.)

Body Topic 3 (can be more than one paragraph): Begin with this topic sentence - Three (or Four or Five) international incidents since WWII where the United States has taken on a policing role in ANOTHER COUNTRY include - then list them here. Then go on to give a short description of each.

Body Topic 4 (can be more than one paragraph): Begin with this topic sentence - "Each time the United States has become involved in an international incident, there has been a major reason." Then go on to explain the major reason for each of the incidents you listed in Topic 3. (You can combine explaining the reason for getting involved with the explanation of the event above if you want to do that)

Conclusion paragraph: Summarize the main ides of your entire paper. Remember to restate your thesis in a slightly different way. Do not introduce any new info in the conclusion.

References

(make sure to space this down so that the references are on their own page and delete the Instructions)

**you must include at least three academic references other than the textbook. NOTE: Wikipedia and other generic-type websites (like ask.com, about.com, infoplease) are not acceptable. You must use scholarly sources only. Please review APA format for your references.

Remember references should be a separate page at the end of your paper. Make sure to cite your references throughout the paper any time you use info from the source that is not common knowledge (you can group it at the end of a paragraph if all the info in that paragraph came from the same source). Make sure to put any direct quotes in quotation marks and cite immediately at the end of that sentence. Remember that direct quotes should be no more than 10% of your paper. The rest should be explained in your own words. – DELETE THIS
