Do not underline or bold your title. Do not put in quotation marks unless it is somebody else's title. Double space everything in MLA (no more, no less). Do not justify right margin. When you start each new paragraph, indent. Make the margins 1� or computer default. The margins are 1� on left, right, top, and bottom. This is true when you write by hand also. Write on one side of paper only. When typing (recommended - save your work on a computer so you can revise easily) use black Ariel or Times New Roman 12 point type. No bigger, no smaller. Do not use italics or other fonts. If you write by hand, use blue or black ink and white 8-1/2 x 11� paper or notebook paper. Do not put your papers in any kind of binder or folder. Use only a paperclip or a staple. Do not use a title page. Use hanging indent for your works cited page. You can find complete details of MLA on the Internet. Use owl.english.purdue.edu or any large university website. The final authority is the MLA Handbook. Note: Italics = underlined. Use for book titles. Put short works or selections from a book in �Quotation Marks.� Work Cited (goes on separate page) Last Name, First. Title of Book. City: Publisher, year. |
