Foundations of Human Sexuality and Gender Identity Compare and contrast two gender identity theories. Apply one theory to your own gender identity development or to that of someone you know. Your paper should follow a logical structure and be evidence-based. Use the MEAL plan to help guide the organization of your paper: Main Idea: Present the main point or idea that you are making about yourself or another individual.
Evidence: Tell a story about your own gender identity development or that of another person, and support your observations with evidence from the literature. Application: Summarize the main ideas from articles related to your main idea. Identify concepts that relate directly or indirectly to your main point. Make explicit links between the source articles and your current paper. Link: Connect what you have learned from your research in your paper by integrating and combining information from your source articles with your own experience or the experience of someone you know. Conduct independent research on resources and references to support your paper. Provide a reference list and in-text citations, in APA format, for all of your resources. You may cite texts and authors from the suggested resources as well as any additional reputable resources you find on your own. If you wish, you may use the APA Paper Template (linked in the Resources under the APA Resources heading) to complete your paper.

In the Writing Center, you will be able to receive feedback on your writing, use writing resources, discover new writing strategies, and explore different ways to draft, revise, edit, and proofread your own work.
