Formatting the First Page of Your Paper

 * Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.
 * In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date. Again, be sure to use double-spaced text.
 * Double space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.
 * Use quotation marks and/or italics when referring to other works in your title, just as you would in your text: //Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas//as Morality Play; Human Weariness in "After Apple Picking"
 * Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
 * Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number; number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or other readers may ask that you omit last name/page number header on your first page. Always follow instructor guidelines.)
