4.  Add your title below it - no underlining, no bold, no ALL CAPS, no " " - just leave it plain
5.  Select all or highlight EVERYTHING
6.  Change the font to Times New Roman and make sure it's 12 point font
7.  Make sure everything is still highlighted or highlight it again
8.  Double space the entire document by right clicking, choosing paragraph and change line spacing to double or 2.0  OR choose the FORMAT menu from the top of the screen, then choose paragraph and change line spacing to double or 2.0
9. Highlight your title and choose CENTER justify
10.  Now, put in your indentations at the start of your paragraphs or anytime the speaker changes.
11.  Proofreading time!! - Use spell check, but don't RELY on it! Watch out for words like too, two, and to.
12.  Print it! Bring it in on Thursday with your completed packet.

Tomorrow during school would be your last chance to get a question answered! Start tonight!! :)
