Welcome to draft #4 of your The Fault in Our Stars theme paragraph. Today we will edit with an eye to formatting.

2) follow proper MLA formatting guidelines, including:
  • 12 point size
  • Times New Roman font
  • one inch top, bottom, left, and right margins
  • indent (tab) 1/2 inch for first line of paragraph
  • book titles (The Fault in Our Stars) are italicized
  • article/essay titles ("The Myth of Sisyphus") are placed in quotation marks
  • double space lines, with no additional spacing between paragraphs
  • one space after periods or other punctuation marks
  • in the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date (double spaced)
  • your essay title is centered, two lines below the heading, without any bold/quotation marks
  • in the upper right-hand corner, create a header 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 (Times New Roman)
