When using MLA style formatting, the entire document is double spaced. The heading goes in the upper left corner, and the title is centered left to right. The title should be the exact same font and style as the rest of the paper, and the main words are capitalized.
If using the 5 paragraph format, the first paragraph consists of your "hook" which may be a
question, quote, etc., and then your thesis. The thesis is your claim followed by the reasoning. Mrs. Starr described it as the mother hen and her 3 chicks.
For the next three paragraphs, think of it as the mother hen accompanying one of the chicks, per paragraph.
To wrap things up, the 5th paragraph will be somewhat like the opener, only opposite. You will start with your thesis, then end with the "clincher".
The majority of the papers we write will be persuasive writing, particularly of the "Editorial" type.
