Formatting figures
Adding numbered captions to your figures can simplify your writing. You can refer a reader to a picture as simply as this: (Fig 1). No need to say see below or to the right of this text, particularly when the figure may move depending on the window size in which the page is viewed. So, I suggest captions like this: Figure 1. Enough detail following the figure number to orient the reader to the image. The following image and caption was added to this page using this syntax:[[Image:RainbowHypothesis.jpg|Figure 1: Students generating hypotheses|thumb]]
Handouts
Your embedded handouts should have figure captions just like your other figures.
Spelling
Your page contains spelling errors. To improve it, please spell check. If you use Firefox, it contains a spell checker. Alternatively, edit the entire page, copy and paste the content into a word processing document, fix the spelling (being careful not to change any formats in the document, and then paste it back into the wiki. Don't forget to save your changes!
Formatting citations
To insure that a reader can reliably track down the specific book or article you intended, it is useful to provide the following information:
- Author(s) (last name followed by first initials; secondary authors: initials followed by last name); year; Book title or article title; publisher (for books) or Periodical title (for articles); volume and page numbers (both for articles)
Formatted examples:
- Brown, M.W. and C. Hurd. 1947. Goodnight Moon. Harper.
- Bentley, W.A. 1905. Studies of raindrops and raindrop phenomena. Monthly weather review. 32. 450
