Directions

=Rules for Collaboration= ==1. Respect your work and the work of others. When you make changes, identify what you have changed - and you may need to explain why you changed it. Be nice to each other, it is a whole lot more fun that way.== ==2. Focus on your own assignment. Make your part of the page as complete as you want others to make theirs. Each part is very important to being able to do the analysis and comparison at the end. Your grade will be based on your contributions only.==

4. As always, only appropriate information and language - don't spoil your grade with stuff that you know doesn't belong on a page like the one you are helping to create.
==5. Last but not least, observe copyright law. You MUST give credit for anything you take from another source. The proper way to do this can be found on the Copyright Rules page. Here is a link to some information about copyright [|CopyrightKids.org]==

=How this Wikispace thing works=

1. If you are on this page, you have already drawn a student number and have your colony assignment with the username and password.
==2. On the colony page you will find research links and the profile outline that matches the tasks on the Team Member Tasks page. You will post your contributions to the part of the outline that you have chosen as your focus. Notice that the outline on the Colony page is just the headings and the subtask numbers. To find out what each task has to do look on the Team Member Tasks page or look on one of the handouts.== ==3. You will choose the task you will do for the Colony Profile. You will indentify your choice with your initials and classroom, for example: hg/5P. Your user-id already indentifies whether you are an Oakdale student or a Coronado student. Two people from the same class can not choose the same task.== ==4. Once you have chosen your focus, you are ready to start your research. You can use the links on the Colony page or get some information from an encyclopedia. You will use your handout for note taking and organizing your contribution to the Wiki page. The handout will be turned in to your teacher at the end of the adventure. __//You will identify your contributions by posting your intitials/classroom at the beginning or ending of each//__ __contribution__. for example: hg/1P or hg/2P The teacher codes are below.== ==5. If you need to edit another team member's contribution (spelling, grammar) then label your correction with your initials/classroom. TEACHER CODES: || V = Vaughn || || W = Weikle || || P = Pommer  || 1j =1 Jones || || 2j = 2 Jones || || 1p=1 Peterson || || 2p = 2 Peterson || ||==
