Now that you have joined Mrs. Bain's wikispace, you will need to follow these instructions to post.

How to post:
1. Your essay needs to be written in Microsoft Office's Word. Text size needs to remain 12pt. The style of writing needs to be the default, Calibri, or Times New Roman. 2. Once you have finished your essay in Word, SAVE it to your H drive. Then, highlight the entire document. Right click on the highlighted text and click "copy." 2. Next, on this wiki click on your class period's assignment on the left hand side. 2. At the top, you will see an icon that looks like 2 chat bubbles. Click on this icon. 3. Located at the top left side, there is a tab that says, "New Post." Click this tab. 4. A window will pop up where you need to title your essay. Keep it short and sweet. If your title is too long, your classmates won't be able to read the entire title at first glance. 5. After you have titled your essay, right click in the box that says "Message." Select "paste" from the menu that pops up. 6. Proof read your essay from here. Make sure nothing was cut short. 7. Once you are satisfied with your essay, click "post" at the bottom of the page.

How to comment:
1. On the left hand side you see your class period and its assignment. Click on the appropriate link. 2. You will see an icon that looks like 2 chat bubbles. Click on this icon. 3. What you will see are all of your classmate's essays. Click the blue link that gives the title of their essay. 4. Read their essay. Once you are done, you will see a comment box at the bottom. Please give constructive feedback in this box. I do not want to see something as simple as, "Good job!" or "I liked your story." You need to tell them specifics--tell them what you liked, what you disliked, etc... Remember, I am reading every essay, and every comment. 5. Once you are satisfied with your comment, click the box that says "post."

1. If required for your assignment, your final draft needs to be written in Word and turned into Mrs. Bain. 2. Take all of your classmate's feedback into your essay. Your post on Wikispace is considered a rough draft. 3. You should have a copy of your essay in Word saved to your H drive. You need to make the corrections suggested by your classmates, then print the final copy, and turn it into Mrs. Bain.
