Welcome to our Wiki 5th graders! Our Wiki name is: 2010-2011 Room 209 September 2010 Each of you is responsible for knowing the rules of our Wiki so read carefully.

WIKI RULES: We will be using this Wiki to share our writing and to get feedback from our teacher and classmates during the 2010-2011 school year. Most of you are already familiar with using our classroom Wiki. My 4th grade students from last year can continue to share writing with last year's class at the WriteNow209 Wiki but for our current class assignments, use this Wiki. The password from last year gets you on all of our Wikis so everyone in Room 209, this year and last, can enjoy sharing our writing! Please make sure you click on the correct Wiki for what you are doing. I will not hunt around for assignments. I will post links here, on HOME. Writing assignment directions will be posted on HOME PAGE Make sure to look at the correct page for all assignments. Go to Ms. Bramlett's page to leave me a message through my discussion link.

For those of you who are new to this, don't worry. We know you'll like it as much as we do. Remember to always write your name in the subject box of any messages you write to each other. I will delete any messages without a name in the subject box. No one is allowed to delete or change anything on anyone else's page. NEVER, EVER click on the edit button on someone's else's page! It will change their page. The teacher can monitor who has changed someone else's page and that student will be given consequences. The only page you can edit is your own! Keep messages polite and friendly. No slams or rudeness allowed. School Conduct Consequences will occur. All messages should be helpful and encouraging to the writer. Please report any misuse to the teacher's page immediately through the teacher's discussion link. Let's keep this Wiki up and running for the school year. The goal is to become the best writers we can be. With each others help, we can accomplish this goal.

All assignments will be posted on HOME PAGE. This is not that page. You are at HOME. Go to the pages list and click on HOME PAGE and follow directions and due dates. Assignments not completed on time will receive an F. There will be no late work accepted for Wikis. As with any schoolwork, you need to make the time to get your work done. Not having Internet at home is not an excuse. We have computers at school. There are also computers at your public library. Plan ahead and stay on top of what needs to be done. Don't let things get away from you. All assignments submitted on our Wiki will count toward your writing grade.

If your keyboarding skills are weak, practice on our classroom Neos and sharpen your skills. I will be glad to type the assignments into your Wiki for you if you are struggling after several attempts and some practicing. I will only do this for you once or twice, after all, this is your work, not mine. You will need to give me your final copy as you want it typed. It must be given to me three days before the due date in order for me to have time to type it for you. I will not make corrections for you. I will type it exactly as you write it so make sure it's your final copy. Whatever is posted on your page on the due date is what will be graded.
