Wiki+Part+Two+Directions

In the second part of your wiki work, you’ll research secondary sources on the short story and/or author of the short story that you wrote about in your first wiki assignment.

STEP ONE - Researching:

 * Find a credible source of information on either your author or your short story by searching the internet. Be sure to evaluate the credibility of the website using CRAAP.
 * Find an interesting database article or interview about your author or your short story by searching //Literature Resource Center//

how to search //Literature Resource Center//:
o Go to the CCC Library page and click on **[|CCC Online Library Resources]**. o Click on **//Literature Resource Center.//**
 * Type your keywords into the Search box.
 * Combine keywords and use phrase searching to create good keyword strings.
 * Notice your search options. You can search by keyword, person, text, or name of work.
 * You can limit your search by publication date or content type. Try limiting your search to refereed (peer-reviewed) articles to ensure your source is credible.
 * If information on your particular story, poem, or play isn’t part of the database, try searching for the author. If you still can’t find information, even after using several different keywords and search strategies, try searching in //Academic Search Elite// from EBSCO.

STEP TWO: - Writing in your Wiki
You’ll now add new information to the wiki page you already worked on in Part One. See the student sample for a model. Write About Your Internet Article or Site: Write About Your Database Article HOW CAN I GET CREDIT FOR PART TWO IF I DIDN’T COMPLETE PART ONE? See Wiki Part One Directions for directions about how to access the wiki, how to use a wiki, etc. If you never completed part one, you can still find articles on the story you originally chose. If you never chose a story or play, choose a story that has not been chosen by another student, and ask your instructor to create a page for you.
