4. Your pictures should include:
   • A picture of yourself that clearly shows your face.
   • Four other pictures of your choice. (You may use the Internet.)
5. Headlines:   Each section must have a headline describing the section.  
   See the sections above for the four headlines for the sections that you will need 24 pt type or bigger.
   • The largest headline will say “Student Profile: Your Name” in 36 pt or bigger type
