This information reflects the most recent updates to our class Style Guide, as of 11/17/2020.
We will use the "Simple" theme and the "heavy" font.
Currently we are using the "gray" color.
As you create each of your three pages, please include your last name in the name of the page. You may use "page" in the naming. Examples:
Breuch Introduction Page
Breuch Summary Page
Breuch References Page
If you have already created a page but want to change its naming, go to the "Pages" menu, highlight your page, and click on the three vertical dots for an additional menu. Select "Properties" and then rename your page.
Title: use the header of each page as your overall title. You do not need to include your last name in the title/header of the page. You should have created the page with your last name, but the headers of each web page do not need to include your name.
Font: use the "Simple" theme and the "heavy" setting.
Heading (major sections of your content in the page): flush left, and use the "Heading" setting
Subheadings (sub headings within a particular heading section): flush left, and use the "Sub Heading" setting
Add a line space after each heading
Body text: flush left, and use the "normal text" setting.
Links at bottom of page: use the "normal text" setting, and highlight the text and insert your link to the appropriate page within the class website.
In-text references: APA style, parenthetical citations

External references (bibliography): APA style
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/05/
Web page titles
For each web page title, use the banner on the top of the web page. The title does not need to include your last name or the word "page." Instead, insert the page type and topic:
Example: Introduction to Medical Writing
Example: Summary of Research on Medical Writing
Example: References for Medical Writing
Page 1: "Introduction to [insert topic here - use upper and lower case]"
Page 2: "Summary of Research on [insert topic here - use upper and lower case]"
Page 3: "References for [list topic here - use upper and lower case]"
Web page content
Page 1: Introduction to [insert topic here] - include the 250-word overview and definition of your topic. Include parenthetical (in-text) citations as necessary.
Page 2: Summary of Research on [insert topic here] - include the 500-word (or more) summary of research on your topic, organized into themes. Include parenthetical (in-text) citations as necessary.
Page 3: References for [insert topic here] - include the list of your 4 references for your topic. Use APA style.
Links
Include at least two links. They can be either external or internal to the wiki site (links to other student pages). To create a link to another page within the wiki, highlight the words you would like linked; then select the "link" icon on the WYSIWYG menu bar above. You will be prompted to either provide a URL or to select another page within the wiki. Make your choice and be sure to click "publish."
Wording for Link names at bottom of page:
Introduction to [insert topic here]
Summary of Research on [insert topic here]
References for [insert topic here]
Page Lengths
Length of Page 1, Introduction to [insert topic here]: 250 words
Length of Page 2, Summary of Research on [insert topic here]: 500 words or more
