End of the year Wiki project

Media Center wiki for links to wiki instruments and more: http://webbbmsmediacenter.wikispaces.com/

Now that we have completed all of the units of study for 7th grade Life Science, we will now create our end of the year projects to prepare for our end of the year test. Over the next two weeks, you’ll work with a partner to research a unit of study of your choosing (the person you work with will be randomly assigned based on unit of interest… more to come). By Monday, May 7, you will need to research your unit of study and create:

1) a Wiki page including (rubric below):
 * 1) __At least__ 3 different wiki instruments used to display your information
 * 2) __At least__ 5 pictures from your unit of study
 * 3) information about your unit that is easy for other students to take notes on
 * 4) vocabulary from the unit
 * 5) main ideas from the unit that covers each of the standards in your unit
 * 6) a bibliography of the sources you’ve used in your research (Yes… even pictures need to include where you got them from)

You may include this information on your Wiki page by using any of the tools shown to you in class, or any tools you may also know of online that can be included in your Wiki page. This page will be public, so you can access it from home. This will help you maintain access to everyone’s information once I have approved it to help you study!

You’ll have the following schedule to work on this project in class. If that is not enough time you will need to get with your partner to organize a time you can talk over the phone, meet, email, etc. Friday 4/20: Go over project in class. Begin topic and partner selection. Monday 4/23: Research unit of study in class. Tuesday 4/24: Research unit of study in class. Wednesday 4/25: In the lab to work on wiki. Thursday 4/26: In the lab to work on wiki. Friday 4/27: In the lab to work on wiki. Monday 4/30: In class or in lab work on wiki. Tuesday 5/1: In class or in lab work on wiki. Wednesday 5/2: In class or in lab work on wiki. Thursday 5/3: In class or in lab work on wiki. Friday 5/4: In class or in lab work on wiki.
