Staring down a blank page and tasked with creating an MLA title page? Don't panic! It's simpler than you think. Unlike some other citation styles, MLA doesn't always *require* a title page. However, your instructor might ask for one, so it's good to know how.
The key is simplicity and consistency. On a separate page before your essay, center the following information, double-spaced, in Times New Roman, 12-point font:
* Your Full Name
* Instructor's Name
* Course Name
* Date
There's no need for fancy borders or images. Just a clean, professional presentation. Remember to place the page number and your last name in the upper right-hand corner (as you will on all subsequent pages). Double-check your professor's specific instructions – they always trump general guidelines! Nail this simple formatting, and you'll be one step closer to acing that essay.
