For all you students like us, high school is just around the corner. One of the things we will be expected to know is how to write in MLA format. Our teacher, Mr. Senger, has already taught us how to do this but this article isn’t for people who already know how to do this, I’m helping those who don’t.

(See this MLA illustration for reference)

1.) First, take a program like Microsoft Word, and change the Font to Courier New.

2.) The next thing you need to do is make the page margins 1 inch on all four sides and have it double spaced.

3.) Next, go to View and insert a Header. Align your header to the right and type your last name in. You’re going to need a recurring page number, for those of you with Microsoft Word, all you need to do is press the little number button (#) and on every page it will have a different page number next to your last name.

4.) Your heading needs to be aligned to the left. It should go in this order: first and last name, your teachers name, (example: Mr. Senger) subject, and date in European order, which should look like this: 12 November 2007 with no commas.

5.) Beneath your heading, aligned to the middle, should be your title. It’s not underlined.

The next line should be the start of your paper. Don’t forget to indent!
