Well done everyone! Great looking wikis.

Today, you will edit someone else's page. This means that you need to utilise resources other than what they have used. Include extra information. Increase the links - within our wiki, and to external sources. Broaden the bibliography. (Re-note anything that looks 'quite similar' to an original source - I'm sure there was not cut/paste going on. Check the spelling and grammar!!) Keep an eye out particularly for how the topic relates to Martin Luther King and/or Malcolm X. And in doing all this, you might even learn something new! Hope so. Cheers, BT

Research and construct a 300-500 word entry on your assigned person, organisation or event of the Civil Rights Movement. You should have at least two relevant photos and need to include bibliographic details (with links), ideally with in text referencing (see **Note** at bottom of this page). About 2-4 references will be fine.

You need to click edit (top right), then highlight your topic, and create a link (the chain icon). This will open a new page, which is where you create your page.

Your entry should have a title , with key dates immediately underneath it . Leave a line, then give a short, explanatory phrase . Leave another line, then start your text. (example)

It seems to be best to type directly into the wiki window, rather than paste in from Word (formatting goes funny). Save often, preview anything radical (I lost formatting about a dozen times!) and ask if you can't work something out.

Enjoy! Good luck! Mr Toohey
