Begin typing your essay here. Do not add any extra line spaces or hit the Enter key more than once at any time while typing your paper. When you begin a new paragraph, touch the Tab key one time. In order to replace “YourLastName” with your last name in the header, place your mouse pointer over “YourLastName” and then double click. This will open the header, so that you can edit the text. Make sure that there is one space between your last name and the page number. To close the header, double click anywhere below the header line.

Use this template any time you have to write a paper in MLA format. It should always look like this. Anything else will get Professor Jones upset with you, and he will knock off up to 25 points from your grade. Ouch! When in doubt about your MLA format, always ask questions.
