4. Captions, Source Citations, and Descriptions • Captions are in a 7/5 format • Must have an Identifier (Figure 1.1, Diagram 2.3, etc.) • When one doesn’t exist add an embedded TN with a descriptive term like Photograph, Caption, etc. • Source Citations are in a 7/5 format • Immediately follow the caption • No blank line after the source citation is required in a series that includes a descriptive TN

5. Descriptions are in a 7/5 format and are enclosed in TN symbols. • They describe the material using vocabulary that is appropriate for the grade level. • Proper order for these materials are: • Caption • Source Citation • Descriptive TN

Where do they go? • Illustrations are placed as close as possible to the related text. • Before the paragraph they are referred to when the information is necessary to understand the text. • After the paragraph when it supplements the discussion • Unrelated illustrations are placed at the end of the page. • After the last completed paragraph on the page

10. Moving Illustrations Between Pages • Only move the illustration if it is necessary for a through understanding of the text and will aide the student in the concept being taught. • Add a TN before the Illustration indicating where the graphic was moved from. • Add a TN on the page that the graphic was moved from referring to where it is relocated to. • Consider ease of use when placing TN’s
