WRITING LESSON : The Presentation of Your Writing.
In your paragraphs and essays, the ideas and organization will be most important, but it will also be imperative to make your writing "look good". Every teacher is impressed by a paper that has a neat and proper appearance.
Here is a format that will be impressive to most of your future teachers.
* Title and Subtitle
Every paper should have a title and a subtitle. The title should be something memorable, something surprising, something designed to catch the reader's attention. It should be centered on the page. The title should be followed by a colon, and then the subtitle on the next line. The subtitle should clearly state the topic and/or purpose of the paper.
Skip one line and then type your name.
