= = **Welcome to our Grade 4-6 Weekly Word Wiki!!!**

A wiki is a web site that allows users to collaboratively add and update content on the site. You've probably already used one of the most common wikis - Wikipedia.

We will be using this wiki to learn and share information about a new vocabulary each week.

Here's your task:

1. Every Monday you need to check out the Weekly Word - posted on a page in this wiki.

2. As a class, you have until Friday to do any of the following:
 * Post a sentence using the weekly word. The sentence must show the meaning of the word.


 * Create a link to an outside website that is somehow connected to the word. For example:
 * Weekly word: democracy My website link: Click here to check out the Government of Canada's website, or here to visit the Australian Government's site. I've added these sites because these two governments are democracies.


 * Post a picture of something that represents your word. You might have to have a class discussion to brainstorm some ideas. You MUST list your source for the picture. Where did you get it from? You can link the website to the picture. For example:
 * Weekly word: democracy


 * You could get really creative and embed a video. Here's a video I found about democracy:

 * What else can you add to our wiki about the weekly word?

3. At the end of your entries, please insert a horizontal rule to help separate your posts from the other classes.

4. On Friday, your wiki page will be posted on the TV monitor in the hallway by the office. This site will also be linked to our school website, so that anyone can visit it.
