 +=====Word Choice and Details in Description=====
 +
 +It is very important that the describer understand what they are describing, especially for educational resources. If they get something wrong, then the student and reader will get it wrong as well.
 +
 +Word choice is paramount. Be consistent.
 +
 +Within the surrounding text the describer will be able to pull terminology for their descriptions. You can also use the dictionary for terms, but if you are working in an educational book the terminology should be found in the surrounding text.
 +
 +Track terminology used, any progression in the image types, and to be consistent with terminology. For example, when a simple image is introduced earlier in the book, and then reintroduced later with more details.
