A Divine Wiki Project

Here is an example of a Wiki project I recently gave to my students. I'll post the results for you to see when I receive them early next week.

Assignment Title: Greek Gods and Goddesses in Vase Painting

Tasks:

1) The class leader will open a new Google Doc and add all class members and the instructor as authors on the doc. We shall be using this doc to create a Wiki about Greek gods and goddesses.

2) Students will work in pairs, each pair writing a biography of a Greek divinity and illustrating the major events in the life of the god or goddess with Greek vase paintings. The biography must be between three and five paragraphs long and must be accompanied by no less than 5 properly cited vase paintings.

3) A bibliography must appear in proper MLA format at the end of each section of the Wiki.
