For Metro State students

Groups will research a topic related to the Auraria campus, or Metro State, and post the resulting article as a topic at wikipedia.org. The article needs to be 400-600 words, and must have two subtopic links of at least 300 words each.

Your topic and subtopics should have 8-10 links each to other Wiki topics or to outside web sites.

You must take extra care in researching and writing this assignment. Secondary sources need to be included at the bottom of the Wiki post. Grammar and style must be perfect. Include information from primary sources (interviews), but do not quote primary sources in the post. Submit a list of the sources to me at the time of the group presentation in class on March 8.

Post a link to your group’s topic in the Links section of your individual blog prior to class on March 8.

Your group presentation needs to be 20-25 minutes and should include a visual element, such as a PowerPoint presentation.

Please e-mail me if you have questions.
