A.+Directions

Directions: Week January 9-13

Your wiki should be finished. You will be given another student's wiki to evaluate. You will write your name on the page indicating that you are evaluating it. Example: Jill Z. Evaluating. You will read the wiki and look at the images. You will record in the discussion the fake facts that you think you found and where. Look at the Clouded Leopard Example on the Main Page or read below You will be graded as to how accurately you try to find the fake facts. I don't want you to just read each sentence and say the facts are incorrect. This is part of your grade.

Find your fake facts first and put them in your Google Doc for this assignment in a different section. You should identify at least 4 fake facts before you post them to another student's page.

- Jill Z Fake Fact 1, 1st Paragraph, Clouded Leopards are Vegetarians, found on 1st website link. - Jill Z Fake Fact 2, 2nd Paragraph, Clouded Leopards weigh 100 pounts, found on video link. - Jill Z Fake Fact 3, picture 1 is fake - Jill Z Fake Fact 4, 1st Paragraph, Clouded Leopards do not live with their mothers. 1st website link

Once your answers are posted, the other student will let you know if they are correct by highlighting them and responding in your wiki. For example, let's say 3 out of 4 fake facts were found. That person would let you know in the discussion and then highlight them in the wiki so you can find the others.

We will try to find as many fake facts as possible and you will be able to look at others. Make sure you find at least 4 before you move onto looking at someone else's page. You should locate pages from today's class before you find students in other classes.

Look at an example from last year's class for highlighting and discussion http://realorfake2012.wikispaces.com/Ally+Narwhal+1

You will make a page(s) about your topic._

You must include a topic that is real. Please refer to the [] and the Clouded Leopard assignment that you completed on a Google Doc.

To create the Page, choose New Page on the left and title it appropriately. Look at the example above. You can add pictures, tables, docs, spreadsheets, a poll, and videos to it. Create a separate Google Doc to use before you add it to the wiki. You will want to make sure that you can quickly identify the real and fake facts when others respond.

You must pick a real topic (educationally related) and it needs to be approved before you can use it Please find three (no more than 2-3) websites that others could use to see what information you have is true or not true. You must have real sources. You have a wide range of choices. You should come up with 8-10 facts that are not true. No more than 2 of the 10 facts can be an image. You must indicate at the top of the page how many of your facts are not true. You can include up to 2 images that are not true. (If you use images that are not real, they must be appropriate and you also need to include images that are real.)

You will highlight the facts that are not real when others find them out on your page. Only the person that created the page should do this. Please make it so that people may believe it is true.This site is not public. Only students from the 7th grade can view it.

How will you be graded.

Choice of topic (educationally-related) Keep track of the real and fake facts in a separate Google doc that you share with Mr. Puglia. Follow guidelines to include mostly real and 10 facts that others need to figure out are not true.

 * Don't make it impossible for students but don't make it too easy.
 * Color code the real facts that you have changed to fake facts for easy review later in the assignment.
 * Use 2-3 websites where you get your information for others to review Provide the exact links on your wiki for others to review.Have a link to websites to help others read to figure out your real and fake facts.
 * Do not make the fake facts too easy to figure out.
