MLA is pretty easy to format if you can remember a few rules:
- Don't use a cover sheet. The first sheet of your paper is the first page of your essay.
- Number your pages with your last name and the page number in the upper-right-hand corner (see below)
- Use 1" margins all around
- Center your title
- Use the heading below (name, professor's name, course, and date)
- Double space the text
- Use a 12 pt. font
- Put your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your paper.
