The idea
An MLA paper uses one-inch margins, double spacing throughout, and half-inch paragraph indents.
In practice
Your last name and page number go at the upper right of every page; your name, instructor, course and date go at the upper left of page one.
Where people slip
MLA papers usually have no separate title page unless the instructor asks for one.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
