To format your paper, you must first determine which report formatting style is appropriate for your topic. The most common formats are MLA, APA, and Chicago (Turabian). You will use MLA report formatting for your report. Now that you have the foundation for writing your paper, you can use your flowchart and outline as your roadmap to write your report. Please note that other teachers my request APA or Chicago/Turabian styles.
