Your papers should be at least 500 words in length (they can be longer, if you wish) and should have your name at the top (no cover page). If you cite something, use parenthetical citations. For example:

Ronald Reagan, in his speech, demanded, "Mr. Gorbachev–tear down that wall!" (www.whitehouse.gov/rwr.html).

Ronald Reagan, in his speech, demanded, "Mr. Gorbachev–tear down that wall!" (Smith, 118).

A bibliography/works cited page is not needed. There are no other formatting guidelines.
