====Wrap-Up Writing Tips====
~-Keep in mind that your Wrap Up should be written in a journalistic style, i.e. there is a natural, readable flow to the whole piece.
~-Your Wrap Up should be written in past tense but let staff know if you find difficulty here.
~-Be sure to include transitions between paragraphs and ideas.
~-Use the names that we have listed on our website so, again, we will link/write "Bobby Jindal" and not "Piyush 'Bobby' Amrit Jindal".
~-If you are unsure about grammar, quotations, or other general writing issues, look through the handouts from the **[[http://uwc.utexas.edu/handouts/ UT]]**, **[[https://depts.washington.edu/owrc/WritingResources.html Washington]]**, or **[[http://vanderbilt.edu/writing/resources/ Vanderbilt]]** writing centers.
~-When you are finished, be sure to credit your work. Here is an example:
<<John Smith is a student at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in Anthropology and a current intern with Vote Smart. For more information on internship opportunities with Vote Smart, contact us at intern@votesmart.org or by calling 1-888-VOTE-SMART.<<
