Welcome to the American Authors Project wiki! Here you will upload your glog so that it can be shared with the rest of your class. Once you have uploaded your glog, begin looking at the glogs uploaded by your classmates. Each of your classmates has a different American author, and as you look at other wiki pages feel free to leave comments. Part of your project requirement is to leave 3 constructive comments on other wiki pages about the author glogs that are uploaded. What is a constructive comment? As a Stephen King fan you may visit the page of your classmate who researched King. Perhaps you find a video clip of a movie based on a Stephen King book, so you watch the clip. Then you can post a comment about the page as a whole, the clip, and maybe even make a suggestion about other Stephen King books or movies that you like. Another one of the comments you make could be based on the music playing on someone's page when you open it. It could be by a group you especially like, and you could post a comment about that, or maybe you think another song would be even more appropriate for the page. Go ahead and post your suggestion. You will also receive credit for posts responding to previous posts, which ends up creating an online dialogue or discussion. A word of caution: you shouldn't all be posting on only a few pages. Spread the comments around - everyone should get at least one comment on his glog. The entire project should be complete by April 20th. By the time you return from break you will have researched an American author, created your own glog, learned how to use a wiki page, and complemented your friends on their creations. Be creative and have fun!
