The title page must include the following: Title, name, date, and class period. The next page is the one full page of text. You may double space. If you would like to add pictures you must insert them AFTER you write one full page of information/text to ensure that your paper is long enough. The last page is the references page. You must list all references that were used in the written report AND PowerPoint here. They must be in alphabetical order.
