pages)—Upload by midnight

Here’s a quick
look at how the paper should look with some guidelines:
|
TITLE
PAGES:
-One-inch
margins on all sides
-No extra spaces between paragraphs
-One-inch indents before each paragraph
-Your name, instructor’s name, class, date top left on the first
page only
-Your last name next to page number top right on each page
-Your original and creative title centered over the introductory
paragraph (never a generic title
like “Paper 1” and don’t use the
title of the text you are writing
on i.e. “Shakespeare’s Hamlet”)
-Name the author and text you are writing on in the opening.
|
WORKS
CITED PAGES:
-The
title Works Cited centered at the top
-Each entry starts all the way to the left margin and additional
lines for the same entry are
indented one-inch underneath
-Entries go in alphabetical order by author’s
last name or by title
if there’s no author
-
For titles of shorter works (poems, short stories, articles,
chapter names) put them in
quotes. For titles of longer works
(plays, novels) italicize or
underline the title.
-Use MLA standards to format each entry based on type. Visit
our library citing sources page or
Purdue OWL for guidelines.
