For this week’s discussion forum, please follow the steps below: 

1.     Choose one source from the articles you have collected on your topic so far.

2.     Provide an example of paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing with appropriate APA formatting. Make sure you label each section and include the original source for the paraphrase and quote.

3.     Ensure to include proper signal phrases with correct APA formatting and relevant punctuation and the original text (except for the summary). Also, label each example as shown on this page.

*Note: Do not include a Word document as an attachment. Instead, type your response in Word and then copy and paste it directly into Moodle. Make sure you proofread because part of your grade comes from accuracy in using APA format.  As for your response to two students’ posts, check that they have cited their sources properly and used signal phrases.
