The type of information that goes in each section is illustrated in the samples below, using a green font. Additional instructions and tips are in black.
Each of the boxes below
(and the one above) is a Table. You can create any additional tables
you need, using the "Table" control above. Tables are useful for organizing
information on your page, and can be placed in various positions on the
page. Right-click on any of the tables on this page, then select "Table
Properties" to see what options you have. "Borderless" (set border line
width = 0) tables can help to position material exactly where you want
it on a page. This allows you to set the size, color, alignment, etc. of
materials in tables. The borders will show as dotted lines in your text
editor, but won't show up on the page. You can also set up tables within
tables.

Comments about
the lions of the Fort Worth Zoo:
Most Geckos lay two eggs but this unique Gecko gives birth to live babies! INSTRUCTIONS TO
AUTHORS: In this space, put
information gathered from keepers or other zoo personnel about the history
and characteristics of specific animals or groups of animals. Where did
they come from? Are they related? Are males and females potential breeders?
What is interesting about these specific lions? For example, one of the
Fort Worth lions was found abandoned as an infant.

Personal Observations:
The lions seem to spend most of their time
sleeping. One day I watched them playing with a large ball.
They would roll it to the edge of their platform and then push it into
the moat, climb down into the moat to fetch it and then start the game
again.
INSTRUCTIONS TO
AUTHORS: In this space include
any personal observations you have made on the animal you are studying.
This is a fun thing to do. Go hang out at the zoo for a couple of hours
and call it homework. Such a deal!

Source Materials

INSTRUCTIONS TO
AUTHORS: You must cite all
sources used in constructing your page. Read the requirements for sources
again,
to be sure you meet criteria. Other possible sources for information besides
the print materials mentioned above and the Internet are the information
placards at the zoo, interviews with zoo personnel or other knowledgable
people.
In this space, you may also put links to other online information about
your animal. Many other zoos have web pages and you may want to link your
animal's page with that of the same species at other zoos. A good place
