Big Idea: For a literature circle project, students read one of three novels (Esperanza Rising, The Giver or A Mango Shaped Space) and then created a wiki about their book. Each group covered character analysis, major themes, vocabulary, and author information.
Format: Over the course of several weeks, student constructed their groups wiki and wrote the content.
Bonus: Students really enjoyed the creative outlet and getting to create "real" web content that they could view from home.
Students were fans of the group work with accountability. Because students signed their name at the bottom of the pages they created, I could tell who did what and grade accordingly. It improved all the students work.
