Welcome to the College Writing II Wiki

Students in Jennifer Beyer's College Writing II courses will utilize this space to collaborate and to develop content. Our primary focus is to develop study guides for The Kite Runner by Khaled Housseini.These study guides will serve current and future students who read this novel. This space may also be used to cordinate ideas and material for the group presentations and annotated webliography late in the semester.

 

Our project pages for The Kite Runner Study Guide can be accessed and navigated on the right-hand side of the screen.

CW II Students:  

Think of this wiki as a shared online chalkboard. Your groups can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text. Here is a step-by-step guide for how to add material to the wiki:

 

 

Step 1: Log In

Click the EDIT PAGE button at either the top or the bottom of any page you want to edit. When prompted, enter in the access code I gave you in class. If you do not remember it, email me from your student netmail account.

    Note: only one person at a time can edit a page. If click the edit button and recieve a message that the page is "locked" try again later or move to a different page.

 

Step 2: Create the content

• Add your own ideas
• React to others' ideas
• You may edit other people's information, but do so in an academic manner
• Always save your changes  (and sign your name)

 

Step 3: Revise, Link, and Edit

• Add links by highlighting a word or phrase, click the hyperlink icon, and use the menu to connect to an existing page or create a new page and add new content
• Proofread!
