Title Goes Here (Not Bold or Underlined or Italicized)
Begin typing your paper here. Notice the left, right, top, and bottom margins are set at 1” and the header is set at .5”. The header is already formatted for you if you use this template. Remember to update the date (notice it’s in MLA format) and to include your name and class period above. When you cite one of your sources, the parenthetical should look like this at the end if it’s a paraphrase from a book (Gladwell 43). If you are quoting from an article, “it should look like this” (Jacobs). Also notice how the quote has been introduced. If you are citing a source without an author, the parenthetical will look like this (“How to Make Vegetarian Chili”).
