= = =Miss Bartoe - Reading 8= = Welcome to the Reading 8 Wiki for the terms found in the novel, __A Long Way from Chicago__. = You have been assigned a term that appears in the novel. Now, you must use your research skills to build wiki pages for those terms. The idea here is that we will build an "encyclopedia" of terms found in the novel. This way, whenever we come across one of the terms in the novel, we may simply refer to our wiki to understand the allusion.

= Instructions: = 1. Find a credible source that gives information about the term. The source may be online or in print. Copy the information onto your note-taking graphic organizer.

2. On that term’s wiki page, summarize or paraphrase (DO NOT copy) the information from the credible source.

3. If the source is an online source, provide a link to the webpage (click here for instructions on how to insert a link).

4. If the source is a print source, provide the title and author of the source.

5. A day or so later, revisit the term’s wiki page and read through what other people have contributed. · If you see any mistakes or things you disagree with, change the information. · If you agree with everything and/or you see something interesting, make a comment about it at the bottom of the wiki page.

6. Find a picture that helps you or the viewer to better understand or visualize the term. Insert the picture onto the wiki page for that term (click here for instructions on how to insert a picture).
