To format your paper:

1. Set one-inch margins for the sides, top, and bottom of your essay.
2. Double space your entire paper. This includes where you write your name, teacher's name, class, and date, as well as your works cited page.
3. Set your paper in 12-point font. This includes the works cited page. Use a clear font, such as Times New Roman.
4. At the top left of the first page, put your name, your teacher's name, the class, and the date, each on a separate line.
5. Center your title on the next line down from the date. Make sure not to bold, underline, or italicize it. The first line of your paper should be the next line down from your title.
6. Indent each paragraph one half inch (press tab one time), and make sure there is no extra space between paragraphs.
7. Add a header with your last name and the page number in the upper right.
