"The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read." Over the course of the year we will read, analyze, and write various genres. This classroom wiki site will provide you with information to strengthen your reading comprehension by focusing on activities that correlate with our classroom texts. Our other classroom wiki site, roncoroni, provides practice and content to improve your reading and writing skills. If you have any questions about the wiki or assignments, please email me. - Miss Roncoroni

We will use this Wiki space to continue our learning and conversations outside of class. Not only can we write out our ideas and responses, but we can create links and post videos that correlate to the material we are studying. Although this is a space for you to voice your thoughts and interact with your peers, you need to remember that it is a class site and needs to be treated like a class activity.

In case you are unfamiliar with wiki sites, check out the following wiki resources for a brief explanation.

//** Wiki Resources: **//

How do I use a Wiki? - Watch the instructional video to learn how to navigate through the site, submit comments, and edit your work

What is a Wiki? - On this wiki site, people from all over the world edit and add entries to this online encyclopedia. Not only does it act as a model of a wiki site, but it will provide you with some basic information on wiki sites in general.

//**Expectations While Using the Wiki Site:**//

1. **No Sarcasm** - Communication via wiki site is like instant messaging or texting - we cannot read body language, see facial expressions, or hear tone. These limitations make it difficult to know when someone tells a joke or responds seriously. To alleviate confusion and avoid offending each other, we will not use sarcasm.

2. **Keep it Academic** - Although the wiki site will allow you to learn, work, and communicate online, you need to remember that this is a class site not a place to talk to your friends about the latest video games, movies, or gossip. When you post, make sure that it pertains to the assignment.

3. **Be Respectful** - Similar to class, we will discuss our opinions and share pieces of our own writing. Only constructive criticism and helpful feedback will be tolerated.

Your comments will be graded according to a that focuses on the frequency, timeliness, and content of your posts.
