For the smaller assignments in this class, I would like for you to start to get used to using a standard format for spacing and formatting your papers, but you do not have to use full standard MLA style. I've created two example documents below to illustrate these formats.
Weekly Writing assignments: Use simplified MLA Style formatting.
Note: If you choose, you are welcome to use the full standard MLA formatting on your Weekly Writing assignments, but it's not necessary since they are shorter assignments.
Project 1 essay: Use standard MLA formatting.
Below are two interactive example documents for MLA formatting. The Simple MLA Formatting example should be used for the Weekly Writing assignments. The Standard MLA formatting example should be used for the Project 1 essay. You can click on the arrow icon at the bottom right of each example paper to view the paper in a full window.
Hover over or tap on the dots to bring up information and instructions for formatting your paper in MLA style.
Note
For Project 1, you will also need a works cited page. For more information on citations and formatting your Works Cited page, see MLA Formatting & Citations for Project 1.
