Fact Sheet Title Goes Here
Use paragraph styles for information and facts that require more context to get your point across. Pay attention to the appearance of the fact sheet. Is it pleasant to look at and does the information flow in a way that makes sense. It can help to spend time looking at fact sheets you can find online to see how other people design them. When creating short, succinct assignments, the visual design becomes part of the message you are communicating to your audience.

Subhead Goes Here
Fact sheets are used to provide the maximum amount of information in the shortest possible manner. You’ll want to be very clear and organized so that every element of the fact sheet provides the most value.
Bold Italic Copy: For greatest readability, keep text to 10 to 12 pt font. You can use fonts but focus on choosing fonts that are easy to read—if in doubt, use Times New Roman or Calibri. Text should be black. If it makes sense for your overall design and message, headers can be in a different color, but use color sparingly.
Subhead Goes Here
Create subhead titles that relate to the scoring guide criteria. Facts are the heart of a fact sheet (hence the name). However, you’ll want to carefully chose the facts you present.
· Each subhead should contain introductory text that includes a topic sentence to help you organize the thoughts. Each fact should relate to that topic sentence.
· Organize facts so that they build on each other. The first fact should establish the importance of the topic. Following facts should build on that.
· Organize your information from most important to least important. The most important goes at the top.
· Use bullets for short facts that can be presented in a sentence or less.
