How do I format a paper in MLA?
assistant
Begin the paper with a page header in the upper right-hand corner, which is normally an abbreviated version of your paper’s title in all capital letters. 2 Next, add a centered title under the header that includes the full title of your paper, your name, and the name of your school or institution. 3 On the next line, begin your introduction and provide a clear and concise thesis statement that prepares the reader for your content. 4 After your introduction, create a section for your main body content. Each paragraph should begin with a clear topic sentence that supports your thesis. Incorporate relevant evidence and your own analysis throughout the paragraph.5 Following your main body content, add a concluding paragraph that summarizes key points to reiterate the purpose of your paper.6 Finally, create a works cited page on a separate page following the paper’s conclusion. Include sources used in-text and access dates when appropriate. Be sure to format entries according to the MLA style.
