Format for Assignments and Essays for English Sec. II


Most of these instructions apply whether your project is computer-generated or handwritten. If you do not understand, please ask me.


1. Please use font size 12, Times New Roman. Do not use bold or italics unless you are highlighting the title of a book.

2. The title of the assignment or essay should appear on the first page, centred and at the top of the first page.  Your name and the date should appear at the top underneath and to the left.

3. Please do not title paragraphs (or use paragraph headings) or present a table of contents. Your paper should flow.

4. Please double space.

5. Please double space between paragraphs. Only one double space should appear; you do not need to have a larger gap between paragraphs.

6. Please leave a standard margin (about 1 inch, 2.5 cm) around the paper.

7. Please write or type on one side of the paper only.

8. Please number all the pages in the upper right hand corner.

9. Please do not use illustrations or images.

10. Use the editing programmes on your computer such as grammar and spell checks.

11. If you are including a bibliography, please type or write it on a separate sheet of paper and put it in alphabetical order.

12. For large assignments, please include a cover page which states the title of your assignment, the date, your name, and the teacher's name. The title must be in the centre of the page and the other text will be centred about two-thirds of the way down the page.

13. Use only black ink for a computer-generated assignment and dark blue ink for a handwritten assignment.
