Prior to UPLOADING your essay in the SERVICE PROJECT ESSAY DROP BOX, please be sure you edit it well, read it out loud to catch errors in your grammar and spelling, along with focusing your ideas to be clear and sharp.  After your final edit, SAVE YOUR DOCUMENT as a WORD file or a RICH TEXT FORMAT file on your computer in a location you can find it.  Your document should have either a .doc or .docx extension or a .rtf extension at the end of the file name. Then go to the DROP BOX, select BROWSE and retrieve your file. When you upload it, you should be able to see it in the TEXT BOX if it’s a WORD file.  If it’s a RTF file, you should see a box indicating the file is there.

            CITING SOURCES:  A part of your grade will be over proper citing of sources for this project.  Remember, in the items that are required to have a bibliography/reference section, be sure you cite your source with the authors name, date of publication and that title of the source, and publisher along with any pages you used, or, if your source is an online source include the title , any author, date, and the web address stating “Retrieved from”.

For example:  Myers, D. (2014) Exploring Psychology (9th Edition).  Worth, pages 35-39.     OR

Henslin, J. (2016).  Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach.  Core Concepts (6th Edition). Pearson, page 102.

For an online source (particularly those related to your agency history) you will have a citation that looks like this:

High Plains Food Bank: About The Agency.   Retrieved May 21, 2016 from https://www.hpfb.org/Hunger

As well, be sure you cite your sources in the body of your text: For example:

The purpose of the High Plains Food Bank is to help “food insecure” families get the nutrition they need in the 29 counties of the Texas Panhandle (High Plains Food Bank: About, May 21, 2016).

Or: Myers (2014, p. 375) tells us that people must have their basic needs met before they can accomplish higher order goals.  This idea is put forth in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, 1970), which shows that needs like hunger and thirst must be met before people will go after personal goals like building self-esteem and attaining an educational degree.
