Linchpin 1.0 - APA intro assignment. Due Wednesday
As you begin this unit on Seth Godin's Linchpin, the first step is going to be studying the wonderful format of APA.
So instead of leaping right into the APA format, we'll just dip our toe in. Thus, here's the assignment.
Choose a famous person who you deem to be 'remarkable.' Then follow the steps below -
1. Research that person. Yes, for this intro assignment, you may search wikipedia if you wish. You only need to use one source.
2. Write a short, half page (that's for you Amit) summary of what you think is remarkable about this person.
3. Use one direct quote from the source in your summary. Be sure to cite it correctly. Go here for help.
4. Devise a proper APA reference page.
That's it.
Ultimately all you will turn in will be a cover page, a summary and the bibliography (APA's version of a works cited). You don't need to have an abstract. Be sure to have the proper running head and page formatting too.
Here is a link to a beautiful thing: an APA paper written about how to write an APA formatted paper!
So here is who I'm going to do mine on -- Cornell West
I'm going to write a short summary of what I find remarkable about him, which happens to be his wonderful take on life, namely the importance of thinking and questioning our world. Then I'll craft a reference page as the works cited.
Here are my examples.
