MLA Guidelines (Basic)

Please copy the following information into your notes:

You should:
1.Use only 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
2.Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides.
3.Indent the first line of paragraphs 1/2 IN. from the left margin. (use TAB)
4.Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner

For the 1st page:
•Do not make a title page.
•In the upper left-hand corner, list your name, your teacher's name, the course, and the date. (double-space)
•Double space again and center the title.
•Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
•Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number
