Welcome to Language Art's PBwiki 2.0!

The Holocaust and WWII

This is a real wiki!  Please edit this page, create new pages, and invite others to use the wiki.  Check below for links from pbwiki on how to operate different functions of this site.  You may want to refer to this information later.  On the side bar on the right of this are the links to your individual class wikis.  You do not have permission to edit this site; you edit your class period's wiki (look right).

Here's how this works: 

You can create a page about ANY topic related to WWII or the Holocaust by clicking the "Create a Page" on the right of this screen.  (Again, you cannot add a page on THIS wiki; you need to go to your class's wiki to add your page.)  Name your page whatever topic you are going to write about, for example, Adolf Hitler.

To find another page, click the "Pages and Files" link on the right of this screen right next to "Create a Page."  It will give you a list of all the pages we have made so far.  Click on "Adolf Hitler" now to see an example and how to write information into your wiki page.

You can comment on any page, even this one.  For example, if your topic is the Battle of Stalingrad, you will not have facts about Auschwitz.  When you read the Auschwitz page, however, you may want to comment that a certain fact surprised you or that you read a book where that happened.  You can add these thoughts in the "Add a Comment" section below the page.

Grading:  See this link for the requirements and grading sheet.

You MUST add facts, paragraphs, and photographs.  We will do most of this in class, so you will only need to work at home if you want to go above and beyond.

You MUST add sources and cite them properly using MLA.

You MUST add links from our wiki pages to other wiki pages or to the internet.

You MUST comment on at least one other wiki page that you did not add information to.  You cannot comment on your own wiki page.

You will lose ALL credit if you erase another student's avatar or try to steal another student's information.  Similarly, you will fail if you delete ANY information on a page, including one that you created.  Edit, do not delete!  Your teacher has "adminstrator" access, which means I can see who logs in, when they log in, and who writes and deletes what!  Do not erase information or steal from another student; I will know, and you will fail.
