Introduction
This is the main body of your text with Level 1, 2 and 3 heading examples. Each paragraph should be indented ½ inch.
Level headings are used to organize your paper for readability by your instructor. Here is an example of Level 1, 2, and 3 headings.
Level One Header
This is an example of a Level 1 header. It is bolded and centered on its’ own line and each major word in the header is capitalized.
Level Two Header
The Level 2 header should not be indented, rather it is flush with the left margin and it is typed on its’ own line. It is bolded and the first letter of each major word should be capitalized.
Level Three HeaderÂ
A Level 3 header is left justified, bolded and italicized. Only the first letter of each important word should be capitalized.
Conclusion
The word “Conclusion†is a Level 1 header so follow the instructions for typing a Level 1 header. Type your conclusion. Insert a page break when you finish typing the conclusion to move to the next page so you can begin typing your references.
References
Begin typing your references here. Don’t forget to use hanging indentations for each of your references. You can use the ruler to make that process easier. Make sure your references are in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. Below are examples of references.
