=AP World History Review Wikis= Our ongoing review process this year will be using the Wikispaces environment. You will be assigned a particular AP World History Theme for each of the five major time periods that we will be covering during the course of the year. Each week we are going to be taking the [|Snapshot] worksheets and your reading notes and creating our own version of Wikipedia for the AP World History course. These wiki pages will be due at the end of the final week for each time period (consult your class [|calendar] to see when the units begin/end)

Task
In your groups, you will 
 * research your assigned theme using your textbook, the Internet, and any class notes.
 * write a detailed, but concise summary of the topic. Use of lists is encouraged. Each theme will have a guide page with questions to help you formulate your wiki entries.
 * make sure you include the relevant facts and explain why they are significant.
 * you may choose to link your page to related pages created by other groups.

The Wiki
A wiki is a website that any invited users can edit and leave comments. That means, now that you're invited as a user, you can edit any page on the wiki. It also tracks every change you make along the way. If you find that you (or someone else) has made a mistake you can always to revert to previous versions of a page. Now that you have your g-mail accounts you will be able to log-in and made changes to your pages as the study of our unit progresses.

For this project, you will be creating a page and several sub-pages (with more information on important terms and people) for your specific topic. If you've never created a wiki before, don't worry. There are plenty online tutorials and videos that will walk you through the process. Many of these are built in to wikispaces help pages. If you get really frustrated or stuck, you can always ask me or someone from another group.

It will be up to students within a group to coordinate their editing or edit only under a single account. Multiple users editing a page at the same time as someone else could erase changes or the entire page. Upon completion of your wiki, you will leave a brief summary of the contributions you made to your groups wiki.
