Group Wiki Project

My group and I were assigned to the novel, Passing, by Nella Larson. I feel that this group project on completing a wiki on our novel has been very successful. My group members and I split several sections apart in which someone wrote a summary for re-encounter one, two, and the finale. The remaining members did close readings. I feel the class time in which we had the opportunity to work on our wiki’s was very useful. My group and I got a large portion of our wiki done in class. Alyssa was the typer in which she brought her laptop in each day and typed as we all gave her points about what was going to make our wiki stand out. I have never developed my own wiki before. I thought it was very interesting because it is not as easy as it looks. There is alot of background information that goes into it. Our novel did not have as much information on it as other books; however, we found a great deal of information about Nella Larson which was useful. I enjoyed reading this novel and working with my fellow group members in this project. I felt everyone worked together and split the work evenly so that there was not someone doing a large amount of the project. As we work on the final touches of our wiki, I feel that my group has done an excellent job on our page!

It’s funny that you say that you had to search hard to find out information about your author. For previous authors of works in the canon, there was a wealth of information about them.
However with these authors, they are relatively new books/authors we have to do more digging.

I like how for your blog you spoke about the wiki project itself. Our group too got a lot done in class as far as the basics go and we all split the work evenly so that no one was doing all of the work. We had people bring their lap tops into class as well to help get the project going as much as we could.

You are SO right-designing a wiki is not as easy as it looks. I never thought it would be as difficult as it is. It takes A LOT of information and time. There’s lot of planning that has to go into it. I was shocked at just how many hours I’ve had to put in. Therefore, I was really glad we got to work in groups. It made the job a lot easier when everyone had a little to do. It sounds like everyone had a really good handle on how to best utilize their group. I’m really glad it worked out s well for everyone.
