Writing the first page of your APA Style paper can be overwhelming if you are not sure what to include. Here are some guidelines on what to include on the first page of your paper:

Title Page: The title page should include a running head, the title of your paper, the author's name, and the institutional affiliation.
Abstract: Most APA Style papers require an abstract, which is a brief summary of the main points in the paper.
Introduction: The introduction of your paper should include an overview of the topic, a statement of your paper’s purpose, and any necessary background information that the reader needs in order to understand the paper.
Body: The body of your paper is where you should include all the relevant details and supportive evidence of your paper’s topic.
Conclusion: The conclusion should summarize the main points of your paper and provide any implications of your study’s findings.
