ALL+LANGUAGE+LD+STUDENTS

This is our discussion page, our communication center.

As we get more involved with our class wiki, please remember to use this page if YOU have a question for ME. I will try to answer your questions by reading this page every day. Also, if you have a question about why someone posted a particular message or picture, this can be the page where you speak to each other. Let's make this a help each other site. Thanks. MsV

PS: Week number 5 has a new question for you to answer. Thanks. MsV

====**Students; Thank you for entering information you have found from our textbook and from places on the net. Remember to give credit by citing where you got your information. Also, please remember to have someone else EDIT your writing, OK?. Ms.V. 10-1-11**====

=NEW INFORMATION : READ ME 10-01-2011= For this class, we will create a wiki dedicated to the American Literary Eras. This guide is provided to ensure that everyone knows exactly what is expected.


 * You will research one author/writer of this period and provide a short biography (one to two paragraphs) of that individual. Be sure you include information such as where the individual was born, where he or she lived and what books, novels, stories or poems he/she wrote. **


 * You will read one of the works you have included in your biography and in a separate paragraph, explain or summarize that story. MAKE SURE YOU CITE ANY INFORMATION YOU USE IN YOUR WRITING. **

**You will select and investigate one social or historical event occurring during this period**. You may select any event or concern but coordinate your choices so each student has a separate subject. In a two to three paragraph entry, tell the class about your selected event. MAKE SURE YOU CITE YOUR SOURCES.

__ The articles you write need to be peer-edited before submission to the wiki. See Christa, who is your acting editor. __ **You will need to select a picture or piece of music from one era.** Find out a little about the artist who created the picture or music. (Keep this information short as we will attempt to create a voicethread with everyone’s selections and download the voicethread to the wiki page.)

Additionally, there are questions that you have generated on the discussion page that you should respond to as you research.


 * Dec. 4th 2011: READ ME: You are doing a fantastic job of adding some great material to your wiki. Now, we have to begin planning our final activity as the semester is almost over. I would like to share some websites with you this week so you can select one you would like to experiment with. Take a look at our projects page for some ideas. V **
 * December 26, 2011: READ ME: Hi everyone! I hope your holidays are fantastic and that you are all doing great. I do look forward to seeing you after break- but I really enjoy the time with my family, too. We will only have six days together so if you have time now to finish up the wiki tasks, try to do it. I throw out a big "thanks" for sharing your semester with me. V **
