The style should be direct yet fluid, using strong, active verbs, transitions, and strategic repetition of key concepts to promote readability.

Use the view menu on your word processing software to open the header field of the document, and then insert a header consisting of your last name and the page number right-aligned in the header field.

Close the header field, and in the body field of the document include a heading that contains your name, your instructors name, course information, and the date, each on a separate line and left-aligned at the top of the body field. Title the document with the lesson title (i.e. Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc.) and center the title. DO NOT insert extra blank lines between the heading and the title or between the title and your first answer. Left align answers and clearly number each answer using the number from the question with which it corresponds. You do not need to retype the questions.

Answer each question fully, using examples from the text(s) where appropriate and explaining the relevance of each example to the question at hand. Answers should be a minimum of one well-developed paragraph but no more than 1 page in length.
