**For History Research Portfolios (1.1 and 2.1)**
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Write the reference at the top of **each** page in the folder.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The Bibliography needs to be handed in with the folder. Write it in sections under headings (all books you have used should be recorded together, then a heading for all websites, then a heading for all encyclopaedias (including Wikipedia) etc, then all Videos etc.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">If you have used a source which is not listed here then CONGRATULATIONS! - now see Mr Halligan for advice.

 * Write footnotes or endnotes for any statistics or direct quotes.
 * You SHOULD be using footnotes or endnotes (if you are not then your evidence is pretty poor - go and find some!)
 * For footnotes in **Wix** or **Weebly** just put a number in brackets at the end of the sentence. The footnote referencing should be the same as the referencing in a bibliography. See this page for an example: []
 * Include a bibliography which lists the main sources of information (even if you have not used statistics or direct quotes from them)
 * **Caption** all photographs. A caption is just a short description of the content of the photograph. You need to use the caption when you write your bibliography (see section on 2.2 photographs above)
