To put the headings on top, if you're in MS Word, go to View, Headers and Footers, and you can enter that text in the box at the top. It will be on every page, or you can fix it so it is different for the first page than for the rest.

First you need to research your topic, then you need to outline your gathered information. Usually a paragraph will have a topic sentence, three body sentences supporting your topic and a transition sentence. You can use that format until you're done with your essay. Happy writing, you lucky dog!!!!

An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary to complete a task. \n\nEither way, your essay will have the same basic format.\n\n\nIf you follow a few simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay anyway.\n\nDon't let the thought of putting pen to paper daunt you. \n\nGet started!\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nThese simple steps will guide you through the essay writing process:\n\nDecide on your topic.\n\nPrepare an outline or diagram of your ideas.\n\nWrite your thesis statement.\n\nWrite the body.\n\nWrite the main points. \nWrite the subpoints. \nElaborate on the subpoints. \n\nWrite the introduction.\n\nWrite the conclusion.\n\nAdd the finishing touches.\n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nYou may download a .pdf formatted file containing these instructions which can then be easily printed.\n\nPlease freely duplicate this material for personal use or for non-commercial classroom purposes. Any use of this material for other than non-commercial personal or classroom purposes is expressly forbidden without the prior written consent of the author.\n\nIf you do not have the free .pdf viewer from Adobe, download it.\n \n  Download a copy to print out.  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n  View a sample basic essay.

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

The basic formal essay format is as follows.  Sometimes it varies from place to place, but overall, this is it (I got this from school this past year).\n\nI. Paragraph #1: Introduction\n     A. State your thesis clearly.\n     B. State the first main point to support your thesis.\n     C. State the second supporting point.\n     D. State the third supporting point.  (etc.) \n             (*Do not attempt to include in your opening paragraph all the information you intend to include in your paper.  Indicate only the most important arguments (main points) which will provide support for your thesis.  Your goal should be to inform and persuade your reader in a non-judgemental "voice."  Simply present the facts.)\n          (**Be sure to include background information about your subject.  Answer the questions: what, where, when, who, how (when and where appropriate)\n\nII. Paragraph # 2\n     A. Clearly state your first main point.\n     B. Explain in detail how this information supports your thesis.\n     C. State and explain any sub points (if it is going to take more than two or three sentences to explain a suh point then it is better to make it a separate paragraph.  In that case, use a good transition sentence to tie it all together and to keep an orderly and concise flow to your paper.)\n          (*use this format for all body paragraphs)\n\n\nIII. Final Paragraph: Concluding Paragraph\n     A. Summarize all of the main points (and sub points) of your paper, and then\n     B. Re-state your thesis.  \n\nAlso: Be sure to present only facts, not your personal opinion.  Always check over your work for spelling and grammatical mistakes.  Preferred font: Times New Roman, 12-point type.  Don't italicize, bold, or underline to emphasize your points (unless it is part of an original quote).  Do not use contractions in formal writing.  \n\n\nThose are the basics.  I summed up a few from the paper I got this from, but the stuff I left out is common sense anyway.  Hope this helps!

If this is the essay for your college entrance (and I am guessing it is, you are usually asked a personal opinion question, not a research question.  If it is personal opinion there is no need for formatting.  If they want strict MLA format, that is a header, a heading, a title and a double spaced essay with parenthetical citations and a Works Cited at the bottom.  Usually a one page essay would abe about 500 words in 11 point font, double spaced.

Citations can be located in the text or at the end of the work in a bibliography. It can be difficult to figure out what needs to be credited. \n\nUse this rule of thumb: If you knew a piece of information before you started doing research, generally you do not need to credit it. You also do not need to cite well-known facts, such as dates, which can be found in many encyclopedias. All other information such as quotations, statistics, and ideas should always be cited in your papers. \n\nhttp://www.liu.edu/CWIS/CWP/library/workbook/evaluate.htm#citing\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

First disregard everything people have said up to this point. I hope you havent even read it yet. If you listen to me you will have no problems. If you go by the guidelines im posting then your paper should be brilliant.\n\n\nYour argument essay should be writtin in this format:\n\nIntroduction-\n Your introduction is the first paragraph in your essay. In an argument essay this will be that part where you explain the status quoa of your topic.. If your topic was was obeisity(the world wide epidemic of being over weight) then you would start of along the lines of saying how many people are overweight and how many people are estimated overweight in your country or in the world. Use some statistics or good information to get the reader engaged in the reading. Then explain why everyone is obeise, for example we have more fast food places and they are using more preservitaves. But your argument essay must be arguing something.... So... the last sentance in your introduction has to be your thesis. This will be your argument... In this case it could be "All fast food resteraunts should be required to adopt healthy foods" The next three paragraphs will be your body.\nBody- All of the body paragraphs are in the same format. Your first line in each will be the other side of the argument. For example the first sentance can say "Many people say that its not the fast food companies fault for making people obeise its themselves". The next 5-8 lines can be your side saying that the average american adult has barely any free time in their life etc etc.\nDo this for the next three paragraphs. Make sure your side is always stronger. After all the only point in an argument essay is to persuade the reader to think the way you do, and making you "win" their idea on the argument.\n\nConclusion-In the conclusion your first sentance can reflect back on the essay in a question. Your question could be in this case " Should fast food resteraunts add healthy foods?" Then give supporting evidence to support your side of the question. We could say "If Fast food resteraunts dont add more healthy options many humans including kids will die from obeisity and over weight related problems" etc etc. I hope you have read all of this and it was clear. \n\nIf you have any more questions email me. whatthefarick@yahoo.com
