Key: Additions Deletions
Welcome to the class wiki for Engl 201-MT3-s08. We will use this wiki several times over the course of the semester to post group and individual work and create a collaborative research space.
The first time you visit the page you may have to click on Join This Wiki (the yellow box on upper right of this page) and then Create an Account so you can post and edit your group's page for the current assignment. (Note: This step may not be necessary if you responded to the email invitation.) You may not be able to post until I receive your "application" and give you "writers permission" on the wiki.
Once you are a "writer" and have signed in, click the easy edit button to add text and other resources to your group's pages. Before editing any page, double check to make sure you are on your own group's page for the current assignment. Non group members can add "comments" but not edit another group's pages. If at any time you need to review the procedures for using this wiki, click on the help section at the bottom of the Page Toolbox. Familiarize yourself with the Navigation box to the left of the page, the Page Toolbox to the right, and the Sign In link at the top. Each time you come to this page you will need to log on before you can post to the site.
I will divide the class into several groups. Each group will add and/or edit pages to share their research and make it available for other students in Engl 201. Click on the appropriate link below to find the current assignment and then go to your own group's page to post or edit work. For a list of who is in which group, see

In our first project, you will research and describe the people, places, events, objects and ideas you have read about in Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt--or ideas related to the work's genre and method. Group members should click on the appropriate page for their group in the navigation box to the left and then add page entries by clicking on the Add a new page button below the navigation box. Make sure each page is placed under the category for your group.
Group members can edit each others pages but must add an edit note indicating why you made the change. Non group members can only add comments on other group's work. The group is responsible for adding text and links on its main page summing up the entries and linking to the individual page entries by Feb 15th. At least one entry for each group member must be posted before class the day the reading is due.
You can use any source but make sure you cite its title, author (if available), URL, and date accessed. Sites like Wikipedia allow copying directly into your page; on such sites you can follow the model of the Sample Entry for Temur-i-Lang as long as you cite your source, include a link to the GNU Free Documentation License (or other license) on your page, and add the date accessed.accessed and indicate where the reference appears in the assigned reading.
