wiki CONTINUED

I have to stop wanting to capitalize wiki!!! This week I added another page to my literarytoolsstudysheet wiki. I wanted the students to continue their literary tools study by making a Power Point presentation. I thought this would be an engaging activity that would truly test their knowledge. They are to use the wiki for planning and collaboration. They would work in groups of four. Each will choose a literary tool. They would be required to state an example of the tool. A member of their collaborative group would find a picture. Another member would type and another would present. Members would suggest a font style, a font size, appropriate background color and animation. These suggestions would be entered on the wiki. Discussion would ensue through the wkiki as well as they debate the suggestions. As this is their first try (as well as mine) at using technology to banter, I will have to be close by with direction and suggestions, however, as they develop more experience there will be a gradual release of responsibility.
