Start your introduction here. The current APA formatting does not use a heading title for the introduction because its position in the paper identifies it as the introduction. Open your paper with a foreword. One to three paragraphs are sufficient. Identify the purpose of the paper and what you intend to write about.

The introduction should be anywhere from one to three paragraphs. All paragraphs of your paper should be double-spaced. The margins in this template have been set to one inch on all sides, and the running head and automatic page numbering has been set up for your convenience. Remember to indent paragraphs in each section. Please be sure to include the name and title of the person you interviewed in this introduction.

Do not consider this template to be the final word on writing your paper or APA style and formatting. Be sure to explore and consult the
