Note: This is a new assignment for SES. I have no local writing models, but I have included a nameless example from KSU above. We are using APA style for this essay. You may use the example above as a template. Another helpful source can be found here, but I think you'll need a computer with flash (not a Chromebook) to view the accompanying video. A Purdue Owl video, which can be accessed on a Chromebook, can be found here.
