* Section 1: A regular Wiki-type section
* Sections can be added like this, typing them in directly into the lesson.
* Section 2: An included section
* Section 2: An included section
* Sections always begin with the following code:
* <noinclude>
* <!-- please replace What is a myth? with the file name of the lesson you want this section to link back to -->
* <!-- Note that all sections and all lessons should be in the namespace Classical Mythology/ -->
* {{Classical Mythology/Head|What is a myth?}}

* <noinclude>
* <!-- please replace What is a myth? with the file name of the lesson you want this section to link back to -->
* <!-- Note that all sections and all lessons should be in the namespace Classical Mythology/ -->
* {{Classical Mythology/Foot|What is a myth?}}
* </noinclude>
* What's the deal with the noinclude tags?
* Click here for a possible answer.
* The code inside the noinclude tags put a background color for the section, wrap it in a table cell with borders, and assign categories to the page. However, we only want these features when the user is visiting the section page directly, not when the section is inside a Lesson page. The noinclude tags keep this code from being added to the Lesson page.
* Can we add categories to sections beyond the ones automatically added?
* Click here for a possible answer.
* You betcha.
* Either type of section can have a reading in it, such as this one:
* Sample Reading Text
* Ancient Myth Sample Reading Text
* Yo, for the sample reading let's take a look at a passage of Pausanias.
* Link is incorrect or text is missing. (Classical Mythology/Reading/Pausanias%208.8.2)
* Don't follow the feedback links below! (They will work, but they will interfere with student work)
* 8.8.2&preload=Classical_Mythology/Preloaded%20response&preloadtitle=My%20Response%20to%20Sample%20Reading%20Text Comment on this myth reading on its Discuss page.
* Go ahead and use the Discuss page for Classical Mythology Readings as a Blog/Comments page for personal introspection on the passages.
* Quizzes can be included like this: {{Classical_Mythology_Quiz |title=A sample quiz| SampleQuiz}}
* Apollo flaying Marsyas Take The Quiz A sample quiz
* 1
* Every quiz should start with the following code
* <noinclude>{{quiz}}</noinclude>
* Why do you think that is?
* The {{quiz}} marks it as a quiz resource.
* The <noinclude> tags keep that only the stand-alone quiz is marked as a quiz resource, not any of the lessons or other pages that include it
* We can read up on how to encode quizzes at the help page Help:Quiz-Simple.
* All of the above.
* 2
* Every quiz should end with the following code
* <noinclude>{{Classical Mythology/Foot|Put_Lesson_Name_Here}}
* [[Category:Classical Myth Quiz]]
* [[Category:ClassicalMythology/Put_Lesson_Name_Here]]
* </noinclude>
* If you're so smart, why is that?
* We should type in the lesson that the quiz is in where the code has Put_Lesson_Name_Here, right?
* etiology
* Freudian psychology
* historicism
* You can also include a simple question-->reveal answer module like this:
* What is the code for a reveal-answer module like this?
* Click here for a possible answer.
* {{Classical Mythology/Reveal|question=What is the code for a reveal-answer module like this? |answer=This code.}}
* The {{Classical_Mythology/Foot}} tag at the end places the <references /> tag for the references section and closes up the table with the fun background colors and everything. It also places your page automatically into the Category:Mythology Greece Category:Greek mythology categories.
* Less work for you!
* However, you should add the [[Category:Classical Mythology Lessons]] tag at the end of all true lessons.
