Trends in the [Fill in relevant term(s) here] Industry Comment by Marsha Fortney: This is a Level 1 heading (centered and bold). Read more about APA Level Headings (apa.org).
Part 1 (due at the end of Week 2) consists of the title page, introductory paragraph, Level 1 and Level 2 headings, discussion of three trends, and your references page. Within your introductory paragraph, introduce your industry and clearly identify the top three trends your research has uncovered. Remember to use in-text citations. Your final sentence should be a transition that leads into the discussion of your first trend in the body of your paper.

Discussion of Three Trends
[Name of Trend #1] Comment by Marsha Fortney: This is a Level 2 heading (left-justified and bold)
In this section, introduce and discuss Trend #1 in 1-2 paragraphs. Explain how this trend is new to the industry and what it portends for the industry. The final sentence of this paragraph should lead into the first sentence of the next paragraph. You will have an opportunity to revise this section in Part 2 after you receive feedback from your professor on the Part 1 draft.
[Name of Trend #2]
In this section, introduce and discuss Trend #2 in 1-2 paragraphs. Explain how this trend is new to the industry and what it portends for the industry. The final sentence of this paragraph should lead into the first sentence of the next paragraph. You will have an opportunity to revise this section in Part 2 after you receive feedback from your professor on the Part 1 draft.
[Name of Trend #3]
In this section, introduce and discuss Trend #3 in 1-2 paragraphs. Explain how this trend is new to the industry and what it portends for the industry. The final sentence of this paragraph should lead into the first sentence of the next paragraph. You will have an opportunity to revise this section in Part 2 after you receive feedback from your professor on the Part 1 draft.
An Important Emerging Issue Comment by Marsha Fortney: This is where Part 2 (due at the end of Week 3) begins.
In this section you will identify an emerging issue or problem within your industry. This could be one of your three trends, or it can be related to the industry. This section will be around 2-3 double-spaced pages.
This section begins with an introductory paragraph that identifies an emerging issue or problem and makes a claim about its significance in your industry.
[Theme] Comment by Marsha Fortney: To make this section more readable, use Level 2 headings (left-justified and bold) to organize information by theme.
For the rest of the paper, you will develop an argument that supports this claim (clearly stated in your introduction). The body paragraphs need to describe and justify your proposed approach to the issue and explain how it relates to how other organizations or experts have addressed the same issue based on research. While presenting your argument, you should also anticipate and refute counterarguments or alternative approaches. By showing that you understand other approaches and being very clear about how your approach is preferable, you will be more likely to convince readers to take your advice.
Use information from your sources to support your ideas while ensuring that your own voice and ideas control the paper. Again, be sure to include in-text citations.
[Theme]
Continue to describe and justify your proposed approach to the issue and explain how it relates to how other organizations or experts have addressed the same issue based on research.
[Theme]
Continue to describe and justify your proposed approach to the issue and explain how it relates to how other organizations or experts have addressed the same issue based on research.
You may not have a third theme or may need an additional Level 2 headings for more themes – adjust the template as needed.
Conclusion
Based on the above discussion of three trends (Part 1) and a deeper discussion of an important issue (Part 2), this section will consist of 1-3 paragraphs that provide conclusions about the trends, emerging issue, and the impact on the industry. You may discuss areas of uncertainty that require further research, but do not introduce anything new here except make focused conclusions about the trends and issue based on your synthesis of the ideas from your resources and your own thoughts.
