How do you format the first page of an MLA style paper? How do you set up the heading? What information do you include in the heading? How do you format the margins, font, and line spacing?

The first page of an MLA style paper should include the following:

A cover page with the paper's title, the author's name, and the author's institutional affiliation.
A header with the paper's title and the page number.
The body of the paper, which should include an introduction, a discussion of the main points, and a conclusion.
Works cited page(s) at the end of the paper, listing all of the sources used in the paper.

The first page of an MLA style paper must include the following:

A cover or title page
The paper's identifying information (including your name, instructor's name, course name and number, and the date)
A thesis statement
An outline of the paper's main points

The cover or title page should include the paper's title, your name, and the name of your institution. The paper's identifying information should be double-spaced and flush with the left margin. The thesis statement should be placed flush with the left margin as well. The outline of the paper's main points should be indented one half-inch from the left margin.
