Most teachers want double spaced essays, but the smart thing to do is ask your teacher for specifics.

It has nothing to do with the format- you shouldn't introduce new information into your paper in the conclusion. If it is a quote to back up your concluding point, then yea, it's ok to put it there as long as you document it correctly- the conclusion is still part of the paper.

CTRL-2 makes it double space, and CTRL-1 makes it single space.\n\nOr, alternatively, you can not type in the title and continue typing the cookbook, and then put the title last.

That's depend dont they have like a guideline about their essay?? some school simply dont mind as long and you make your point, some other like it short...Do some research and if you cant find more info make sure your essay is not more than 4 pages (doubled space) erase any "extra" words and be concise... good luck!!!!!!

There are so many to choose from.  I think that is really a matter of personal preference and style.  It is often not so much what is said, but how it is said, that makes an impression.\n\nThese links may help you clarify things in your own mind, and assist you in picking the devices that will work best for your writing.

FIRST, STATE YOUR TOPICAL SENTENCE.  THEN, LIST THREE SENTENCES THAT SUPPORT YOUR STATEMENT.  THE STRUCTURE OF INTRODUCTORY, CLOSING AND INTERIOR PARAGRAPHS IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.  YOU MUST BE MORE SPECIFIC AND TELL US WHICH PARAGRAH YOU ARE WRITING.  PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO ASK HOW YOU SHOULD STRUCTURE AN ESSAY.  YOUR SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE A STYLE BOOK ON FILE THAT YOU CAN USE FOR REFERENCE.  CHECK WITH THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT.

I’m not sure what you mean buy double space copying.  I think you are referring to typing your letter in double space when you hit the enter key.  If I have this correct then this is what you need to do: You set line spacing on the indents and spacing tab. First select the format menu tab at top.  Then select the paragraph command. After the paragraph widow opens click on the line spacing option near the bottom center in the drop down menu.  Choose your spacing preference here.

the problem with most essays is that the content is disorganized. You may have great ideas and facts that you want to write about, but somewhere during the writing process you start mixing them up. Suddenly your perfect paper sounds all wrong and you want to scream! I've found that the best papers I've ever written (meaning my A papers) have all started with a good, solid outline. Once you have an outline down, your paper writes itself. Your thoughts are organized and the teacher can understand your main point (which is your thesis) and how you supported that point. A focused paper is the key to writing a good essay. Here's the format for the outline I usually follow:\n\nI. Topic / Title\n\nII. Introduction of Essay\nA. Write a few sentences that lead into the main point of your essay\nB. End the paragraph with your thesis statement (3 main points you are going to support)\n     1. First point in thesis\n     2. Second point in thesis\n     3. Third point in thesis\n\nIII. Body of Essay\nA. Topic One - First Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nB. Topic Two - Second Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\nC. Topic Three - Third Point in Thesis\n     1. Support your point with either quotations or solid evidence\n     2. Have at least five sentences\n\nIV. Conclusion\nA. Write a few sentences summarizing your essay\nB. Restate your thesis and how you proved your point\n\nOnce you fill in the blanks to this outline with your topic and information, the rest is easy! Make sure to check your spelling and punctuation, and then you're good to go!

I was taught to write the best argument then least important after and then at the end summarize again your main argument. You want the reader to think that your points are interesting, the arguments that are not so important I would just stick to the basic points I would not go into useless detail about them (main points).\nbut it can also depend on who is marking your work and what that teacher likes, ask them if you can.

The rule of thumb in letter writing and typing up any types of paper is;\nIf you indent the first paragragh then you MUST indent the beginning of ALL the paragraphs, single spacing each line in the paragaph.  When you do this you DO NOT need to double space in between each paragraph if you don't want to.\n\nIf you choose not to indent the paragraphs then another option is \nsingle space each line of the paragraph and DO NOT indent any of the paragraphs BUT always double space to separate each paragraph from each other.\n\nHope that helps and makes sense to you.

you don't need it in the first set of two. \nyou could use it in the second 1) but it's not necessary.\nyou need it in the last one, to separate the two independant clauses.

The guideline is to use only one block quote for four pages.  In other words, one or two paragraphs for each four pages.  For your seven page paper, you could block quote two paragraphs.  That's from the MLA handbook, I think.  When I taught English, the rule was always that no more than 10 percent of a research paper was to be quoted.  Paraphrasing is more desirable.  Could you paraphrase the information?

I can't believe how many people are answering this incorrectly!  It is two spaces after the end of a sentence, always.\n\nBy the way, you are not ancient.  You should be proud of yourself for returning to school.
