Presentation Matters (even though we don’t want it to)

This applies to MLA formatting! 8.5 x 11” paper 1” margins all around Double space throughout, no extra spacing Typed, legible font in 12 pt. Each paragraph indented .5” Header (last name page number) (Strawn 5) Heading Title centered, no bolds, underlines, or italicizing Works Cited page with ACTUAL citations, not just names and URLs
