Abstract
Writing APA-style journal articles or research reports is a complicated task for undergraduates because they are creating and organizing the prose while trying to follow format conventions. The homework assignment described in this article is used to teach one component of the task: organizing the information within major headings. I distribute the contents of a short journal article in scrambled order, with instructions to unscramble the order of paragraphs and to determine the location of headings under which the paragraphs belong. Diagnosis of errors allows instructors to determine where additional teaching is needed and highlights for students some writing conventions.
