Title

Another part of formatting you’ll need to include in your essay is a title. Your title should clearly explain what your essay is about. It should also be placed just beneath your heading, but before the first paragraph of your essay (in between the two). It should also be centered on the page and not have any bolding, underlining, or italicizing.

The title should use title case. This means capitalizing the major words in your title. Capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and the first and last words. Keep short connecting words (like, and, of, in, to) lowercase unless they start or end the title.

Example: Overcoming the Thinking Error of People Pleasing
