Welcome to your G block class Wiki!

World History II



==Welcome to your class wiki! We will use this to share ideas and work with each other. You will post everything from thesis statements to free writing assignments. You will comment on the work your peers post and you will have some assignments that will only be turned in on the wiki. Emailed documents will not be accepted==

**Wiki Guidelines**
.
 * A quality entry will review and summarize discussion contributions made by students.
 * A quality entry will be detailed, free from grammar and spelling slips, and visually appealing.
 * Students are referred to only by first name.
 * All comments and discussions are appropriate and respectful. Using the Wiki for discussion and comments negative in tone and/or unrelated to the course will result in a failing grade for the assignment. This space is an extension of our classroom and should be treated as such.
 * All documents must be posted as .rtf because not everyone has access to Microsoft Word


 * Course Information Documents[[file:2011-2012 CS.rtf]][[file:Enduring Understandings.rtf]]**

ASSIGNMENT #1: September 11 activity

Directions: Find an article written within the last seven days about September 11. Use a reputable source such as NPR, //The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe//, CBS news, etc. Read your article and then post a link to the article and your summary of the article on the discussion board (I have an example on the board already). NO ONE IN THE CLASS MAY POST THE SAME ARTICLE. It can be a link to a print article, a news clip produced in the last seven days, or even an audio clip from a radio program. Media clips should be no longer than five minutes in length.

After posting your article and summary, choose two articles posted by your classmates. Read the articles and then post discussion comments with your reaction to the article and any opinions or questions you may have regarding September 11. Your discussion comment posts must be 5-6 sentences in length and must use facts and examples from the articles you read. Due Monday, September 12.
