Something along the lines of:
First I would create a diagram. Make a horizontal line labeled APB, Where P is the midpoint of AB. Then draw a line perpendicular originating at P, extending up or down.
Statement Reason
1. EP is a perp bis 1. given
2. "angle" AB = 180 2. defintion of a straight line
3. angle APE = 90 3. definitoin of perpendicular
4. angle BPE = 90 4. definitoin of perpendicular
5. angle APE + 5. defintion of supplementary angles
angle BPE = 180
6. 180 / 2 = 90 6. division property
7. "angle" AB / 2 = 7. definition of angle bisector
angle APE
