Things to keep in mind as you work

Things to keep in mind as you work on your IWA (due January 6). • Include a title page that has your title (which could be the research question), and a word count. Remove your name and the name of the school from everything. Turn the document into a pdf. • Minimum of five peer reviewed journal articles (which you actually use), at least 10 sources overall. More are recommended! No more than 2, 200 words. Double space your work. • Bibliographies must be in alphabetical order. All the sources you cited need to be in there! • Anything that is not common knowledge needs to be cited. There should be citations in the introduction, and when you are talking about solutions. • If there is an author, include the author’s last name and the year (Berman) OR (Berman, 1986) • If there is not an author, include the title of the article (“Joys of AP Capstone Seminar”) OR (“Joys of AP Capstone, ” 1986). • Make sure the citation is AFTER all the information you have taken from that source.

• Follow the template on my website! The recommended structure is: • Introduction (1 paragraph): Make sure the last sentence or sentences is a thesis statement that clearly establishes what your solution is. • Establishing why the problem is significant using different lenses (2 -3 paragraphs) • Presenting Alternative Solutions (2 -3 paragraphs) • Presenting YOUR solutions, their strengths, limitations and long-term effects (3 -4 paragraphs) • Conclusion (1 paragraph)

• Be clear where your data is coming from - don’t just say a report, provide the name of the report, the credentials of the people who wrote it, etc. • Flory and Friedrich, co-directors of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Longterm Care Network, provide examples of the effects caused by limited funding through the complaints of families who have directly experienced the unsuccessful community centers. • Madianos, president of the World Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation and professor of general and social psychiatry at the University of Athens, delineates the direct correlation between the economic level of a country and availability of mental health programs. • Avoid sweeping generalizations about groups of people. • Make sure your solution or solutions are actually consistent with the evidence you are presenting.

• Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1979 -1990. Indicate that you know this. • Use Letter From a Birmingham Jail in a substantial way (don’t just say it shows that Martin Luther King fought racism). • Put the names of journals, newspapers and magazines in italics. • Don’t be overly dependent on quotes.
