You may wonder why we refer to an essay cover sheet as to a very special attribute. Well, sure it is just a joke, and essay cover sheets are not the most significant parts of the paper. However, an essay cover sheet is still special to some degree, because:

• it may or may not be required;
• if it is required, it should be organized properly.

Needless to say, your teacher should provide all specifications of how to make an essay cover sheet and whether it is necessary at all. Mind that if you are writing an essay using APA style, you will most probably have to make an essay cover sheet. Besides, it should be arranged according to strict rules and standards of APA format.
 
It is a good idea to find several APA sample essay cover sheets to have a clear image of how this page looks like.
 
If your teacher does not give any instructions on how to make your essay cover sheet and you are not writing an APA paper, you may use these general principles.

• Your essay cover sheet should appear as a separate page.
• Somewhere in the middle of the page, write the title of your work.
• Several lines below the title, you should place the following information: your name, teacher’s name, class, and date. This info may either appear just several lines below the title or in the bottom right.
