First, you start on the left margin. There should be 1 inch margins all around. Also sue double spaced 12 point font. First put your full name. Double Space and put the last name of your teacher. Then double space and put AP US History. Then Double space and put the due date such as 05 Jan 2009. Double space then center and put the title.
Neal P is right but the body of the paper was excluded. MLA should not list title of the paragraph. Each paragraph should be 5 sentence each. and the last paragraph is your concludion which should end with your thought on the topic.
