Title the paper at the center of the top line, but do not change the settings (1” top and bottom margins, 1.25” left and right margins) and be sure to double-space and use size 12 Times New Roman font. Use parenthetical citation and include a Works Cited list that has one book, one encyclopedia entry, and one on-line source. You must also use and cite one quote in your paper.
