Mentoring Handbook/Manual of Style

[edit] Graphical style
The book should use occasional graphics to make it more appealing to read than just text. Graphics could, for instance, depict children and/or teenagers in joined activities that could be imagined to benefit from mentors. An immediate relation to content is not necessary but should be established where possible. Width of pictures shouldn't exceed 400px.
[edit] Templates to use
"Is this statement true?" This template should be used for true and for untrue statements the reader might want to consider. Sometimes answering the (implied) question(s) could be non-trivial or the question(s) could be unanswerable the way they were asked. The text may also just pose a question.
Rationale: The reader should think about the subject matter. The presentation style should not imply the result.

"Succession of bends". The text may seem to contradict itself, to describe radically different points of view, to reverse an earlier position or to take one or more unexpected and, possibly, pointless turns. You should think about this or ignore it, it may be meant to irritate.

[edit] Chapters
The distinction between "Mentoring activities" and "Groups, programs and goals" may not appear very clear. The intent is to describe more abstract or more general mentoring activities in the former and more specific concept ideas in the latter chapter.
