Your paper must be composed of three main parts have a cover page (1st page) and a works cited (last page) with the body of the paper in the middle, all parts in MLA style (Google it!). The body of your paper must be typed using double space paragraph format on the entire paper, including the cover page, and the works cited page. (This means skip a line between every sentence. In word, go to “format,” then in format scroll down to “paragraphs” and in there is a box called “spacing,” scroll down to “double” and it will automatically double space for you.).

A thesis statement usually appears near the end of the introductory paragraph of a paper, and it offers a concise summary of the main point or claim of the essay, research paper, etc. A thesis statement is usually one sentence that appears at the end of the first paragraph, though it may occur as more than one.
