 * Wiki Assignment **

Students will work in pairs. Two students will collaborate on the development of a Wiki page on a country or region that we are studying in class. Each pair will then serve as reader and editor for one other Wiki.

Work on wikis will begin early during the semester and must represent participation of every student. I will guide you in your work throughout the semester. You will present your wiki at as your final project for the class.

**Information will be gathered throughout the semester. It will vary but will include the following: ** 1. You will include basic information: map, brief history, geography, economy, etc. (30 points).

2. You will inform the reader on the relationship between the region you are studying and France. You can relate that information with other regions we have studied if applicable (15 points). Do not simply cut and paste information.

3. You will search the UMF library to see what documents are available on the region. Find at least 10 sources from the library database (journals, books). Select four documents to summarize and analyze (30 points). Use your own words.

4. You will present information on music and include 2 songs from the culture that seem relevant (20 points). Use your own words

5. You will include information about art and/or literature of the region (30 points) or other cultural aspects you find interesting: food, tourism, sports, etc. Use your own words.

 6. You will post a 5 page paper focusing on a film from the region we have studied and do a close analysis. Place the film in the context of the class. How does it relate to other works we have studied? (80 points)

7. You will work as Editor for another wiki. Editors write some positive and negative comments on another team’s wiki. You are responsible for editing the wiki appearing on the same line as you (15 points).

8. **Oral Presentation** (80 points). You will have 15 minutes to present the most interesting points of your wiki, with 3 minutes for questions. You will be judged on the quality of your preparation, on your communication skills with the public, on being professional with your approach. This is your chance to be the instructor for the day. You will be assessed by your peers and the professor.

**Bonus**: you will prepare a dish from the region you are presenting and share it with the class (15 points). You can bring a dish at any time during the semester. Let me know if you plan to do so (to spread de bounty J ).
