I am excited to learn how to use a wiki space. As Paul and William were talking/introducing the course, some ideas that came to mind for how to purposefully use the wiki are:


 * Writing Strategies (including writing prompts per section)
 * Pre-writing
 * Drafting
 * Revising
 * Editing
 * Getting Ready to Publish
 * Reading
 * Literary Terms and Techniques
 * Book Discussions/Online Literature Circles
 * Mentor Texts (e.g., Style and Voice)
 * Use of Voicethread
 * Literary Analysis (Mini-lessons using Wordle: Highlighting text (e.g., speeches, short story, news articles)
 * Online Web Sites (e.g., IRU)
 * Vocabulary
 * Blogging about word usage/origin
 * Vocabulary in Context in Literature
 * Reading and Writing Study
 * Current Events (e.g., interdisciplinary team project: sustainability/Film project, immigration)
 * Poetry
 * Film Studies
 * Nonfiction (e.g., modify nonfiction study/creation of books to online edition)
 * News Writing (e.g., 5Ws in writing about the conflict in the story)

__Evaluating Information: Endangered Species Challenge__ Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary: An Interview with Jessica Williams
 * Check Validity of Source and URL (National Geographic, .edu, .gov, org)
 * Author and Purpose (Type of writing: Editorial/Fact versus Opinion)
 * Is there a bibliography for research and images?
 * Search/Cross-reference sources (Is there a cryptozoological museum in NC??)
 * Use logic and read critically.
