Spend your time on communicating your ideas instead of on grammar, complex words, and style. Think simple and clear. Main facts and points In this section you will present all of what you geologically saw and found. The geology MUST be in place, this means that you are not looking at geology that has been relocated by humans or recent erosion. A landscaping rock in a park is not usually place”. A cliff face along the “in beach IS in place, since it was moved by natural forces. Figure 1. Title of your figure. A few sentences describing what is important in your figure. For example this figure has Ryan McCarty in front of a geology assignment that he found. Use of or photo editing is not “Photoshop” allowed on this photograph. Please note how the photograph has 1) the geologic feature (the assignment) 2) my person, and 3) the date. Take the necessary selfie-date photograph (Figure 1), as well as any other photographs you need to tell your story. A full credit assignment likely has 1 selfie-date photograph, 1-3 photographs from far away and 1-3 photographs of the close up rocks. (You won’t need more than 7 photos, and even that may be overkill.) In your text, you need to call out every figure that you include, such as figure 2, which is a good example of a close up photo. Figure 2. A close up photo of a geology assignment. The assignment was made up of words, and appears to explain how to do this assignment. The text size looks like it is about 12 point font, and is written in a black color. Discussion In the discussion section you draw together your argument and connect the dots for the reader.

These do not have to be completely separate paragraphs, and may need to be intertwined to tell your story most effectively. Try as best as you can to draw in as many parts of our class that you think play an important part in the geology you saw (for instance, depositional environments, plate tectonics, minerals, rock cycle, geologic ages, structural geology, etc).
