Skill: APA Style

For this last assignment you will develop skills in some of the basic elements of APA Style, 7th Edition. Namely, you will learn to create an APA Style title page, formally cite within text using two different citation styles, and a reference list. For this assignment, you will need to create your own word document to upload. It should have 1" margins and use Time New Roman 12pt font. Links to pages with instructions and examples are included.

Part 1:

an APA style title page. The title should reflect the content in the integrated summary you wrote for Assignment 2. Your affiliation should be Montclair State University. It should be on a page by itself.

Instructions and samples of the title page you must found at:

3. Lorenzen, Hall, Maliz, & Booth, 2018
4. Allen, 2019
5. Graves & Malari, 2015

Part 3:

The way you have been citing is called passive citing (parenthetical citing), where it comes at the end of the sentence in parentheses. When possible, it is preferred to actively cite (narrative citing). For example: According to Graves and Malari (2015), most cohabiting fathers feel less close to their partners after the transition to parenthood. OR Graves and Malari (2015) found that some fathers felt less close to their partners, whereas others felt closer, and this is consistent with Smith's (2018) findings of foster mothers' perceptions of their partners' feelings. For this part of the assignment you will revise your integrated summary from part 2 by demonstrating the ability to cite actively and passively (i.e., change some of your sentences to remove the passive citing and replace with active citing; other sentences will remain as they are).

Part 4:

The final part of this assignment affords you the opportunity an APA style reference list. I have provided all of the information below to create each of the full citations to be included in the reference list. Your full reference list should be alphabetized
