project+checklist

Check-list to constructing an A+ wiki page
**Collect resources:**
 * Use BHS library databases
 * Perform web searches
 * Access the library's Impact the Earth Project cart
 * You need 5 resources (2 are print documents)


 * Use a 'Working Document' **
 * Open a gmail account (ask for help if needed)
 * Go into google drive and create a document: save document with the name of your topic and your name(s).
 * Share this document with your teacher.
 * Type in each resource's information (ex. title, author) and link it to that resource if it is on-line.
 * Take notes **in your own words** below each resource.
 * Find diagrams & pictures that will help explain the answers to each of the 3 project questions. For each diagram or picture, copy the link in your resource document with a __brief__ description.


 * Publish your work **
 * Create a wiki page titled "Name of your topic - Your First Name(s)".
 * For each of the 3 questions, state the question and your answer (this is **in your own words**, be very careful not to plagiarize).
 * Add the diagrams and/or pictures - you should have at least one for each question.
 * Click here to see a sample layout - but you can organize your page in a different, more creative way!
 * If working with a partner, complete an evaluation form in class.

**Present your wikipage to the class**
 * Be prepared to give a 5-minute class presentation on your wiki page.

Hints! These are typical project mistakes. Be sure to steer clear of:

 * ==writing a paper on the topic and uploading it to the wiki page==
 * ==adding pictures without explaining on the wiki page what they show==
 * ==only quoting resources or rewording sentences from resource —you must put it into your own words!==
 * ==saving all of the work to the last minute==
