Directions for Starting

Page history last edited by Jenn Beyer 15 years, 6 months ago

Students in Jennifer Beyer's College Writing II courses will utilize this space to collaborate and to develop content. Our primary focus is to develop study guides for The Kite Runner by Khaled Housseini.These study guides will serve current and future students who read this novel. This space may also be used to cordinate ideas and material for the group presentations and annotated webliography late in the semester.

 

Our project pages for The Kite Runner Study Guide can be accessed and navigated on the right-hand side of the screen.

 

To understand the wiki project, you should also look at

General Directions for using the wiki:

 

  • To navigate through the wiki, use the SIDEBAR on the right             
  • To edit a page, use the  EDIT PAGE button
  • After adding your information, click the SAVE PAGE button
  • Each page has a comment button. Use this to add notes/directions/ideas that are not yet ready to be added to the content of the page

 

Guidelines for use:

  • Add your name to all information you post
  • When adding new information, you can separate it from existing information by using the "Insert Horizontal Rule" icon
  • Cite sources from the novel and any outside sources you utilize


 

CW II Students:  

Think of this wiki as a shared online chalkboard. Your groups can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text. Here is a step-by-step guide for how to add material to the wiki:

 

 

Step 1: Log In

NEW DIRECTIONS have been emailed to you. You will now have to log in with your username and password, which I emailed to you 9/14/08.

  

Note: only one person at a time can edit a page. If click the edit button and recieve a message that the page is "locked" try again later or move to a different page.

 

Step 2: Create the content

  • Add your own ideas
  • React to others' ideas
  • You may edit other people's information, but do so in an academic manner
  • Always save your changes  (and sign your name)

 

Step 3: Revise, Link, and Edit

  • Add links by highlighting a word or phrase, click the hyperlink icon, and use the menu to connect to an existing page or create a new page and add new content
  • Proofread!
  • Make your groups document a user-friendly study guide. Create a pleasing layout with a consistent design.
