Introduction
The introduction is at least two paragraphs. In the first, explain the scenario which led to the writing of the report (this report defines the community engagement project identified by your fictional employer). Identify the community issue which your report proposes a response to in one sentence. In the last sentence of this paragraph, explain the action you propose that you propose to take (which might be you alone, or which might involve more people from within the organization).
In the second paragraph, identify as a bulleted list the logical progression of key points you will address. These should be the subsections of your Analysis section Re-edit the progression list after Analysis completion. If you are using the suggested subheadings provided below, this would be.
The report analyzes the following topics:
1.
Community Issue
2.
Proposed Action 3.
Impact of Proposed action

Analysis
The Analysis section will be subdivided into a chronological sequence of subsections. The subheadings used for this division should be similar in level of detail to a short headline in print media. This is where your research is presented and analyzed, and where most of your in-
text citation of research will occur.
PLEASE NOTE For texts accessed in print form, or pdfs with page numbers, provide the page number or page numbers which you are referring to as shown: (Surname, Year, p. ###) when you are using information form only one page of the article or (Surname, Year, pp. ###-
###) when using information from more than one page.
PLEASE NOTE For online articles with no page numbers, the in-text citation ends after the year as shown: (Surname, Year).
In both cases, you include an in-text citation for each quotation or paraphrase or summary
from your chosen source, so I anticipate 1 or more citations in each paragraph in the Analysis section. I recommend the following sequence for your subheadings
Community Issue

If you want, you can add additional subheadings. To do this, either type a new subheading then select the text and left-click the Heading 2 button (visible in the Home tab on Word), or you can copy one of the sample subheadings above, paste it where you want the new subheading to be, then type over the preformatted subheading.
If you are using any visual materials in your report (tables, images, blueprints, schematics, flowcharts, graphs, charts etc), these are presented as Figures, which are numbered sequentially in whole numbers and have titles after the figure number:
Figure 1: Title Defining Data Content Column title
Column title

When you include a table you must analyze the data in your sentences. “As Figure 1 shows, <insert analysis>
Type out Figure and number, followed by a colon, then add a title for that Figure in the line above the table/figure. Figure 2: Title Defining Data Content

Conclusion
This section defines in logical sequence the points proven based on the evidence and data
in the Analysis, and is written in terms of the effectiveness of the proposed action in addressing the community issue.

References
This list must be in alphabetical order; we are using the current version of APA: 7
th
edition. This is more straightforward than APA 6
th
edition.
Here is the general format for a book:
Surname, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of book
. Publisher
If you are using an article from a database, use the Cite button on the right hand side of the screen, and check the resulting APA reference against the following format for magazine or journal articles, watching out for unnecessary use of CAPS: If the citation looks odd, email the citation and the permalink to Scott. Paste in the permalink (for articles from an EBSCOhost database) or the link from the address bar of your browser (for articles from a ProQuest database).
Surname, A. A., & Surname, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal
, volume
number
(issue number), page range. permalink
For newspaper articles, check the reference from the Cite button against the following format, delete any unnecessary use of CAPS. Paste in the permalink (EBSCOhost) or the link from the browser’s address bar (ProQuest) at the end of the reference.
Author, A. A. (Year, Month in words day in numbers of publication). Title of article. Title of Newspaper
, page range. Permalink
If the reference for the article accessed from the database features a DOI, which is commonly formatted as a link, simply put a period after that DOI, then add the Permalink after that. DOIs should be included as they provide a link to the specific publication, but this often ends in a paywall; using the permalink (as both you and I have access to the Mohawk College databases) allows me to access the source from a single click

If you are using a file that an instructor has uploaded in MyCanvas, use the following template:

....
Fill out the name of the author, the date (see the bottom of the first page of the article) and the title, which must be in italics for this kind of source. Leave the words in [] and the college
name, then replace http://... with the full URL for your article copied and pasted from your browser’s address bar. Remember that neither the interview not the survey is included in this list
