Assignment due date:

Monday, December 14, 2008 (we will then present our pages)

You MUST choose one of the topics below to work on with one partner.  Your partner should be in your class.  If you discover another topic you would like to do on South Africa, please approve it through Mrs. Stevens before beginning on it. I will only allow 1 group per topic. You will be required to produce a WIKI with your partner.  I have established a main WIKI page, located off of the Social Studies page. You can use either www.pbwiki.com, or www.wikispaces.com to create your WIKI –just email Mrs. Stevens the link so she can add it to the main WIKI site. You will be given very little time during Social Studies & Language Arts classtime to work on this.  Therefore, you will need to utilize time at home or in core plus to do an acceptable job! 

Please include the following on your WIKI

• Elaborate Information on the topic you selected to discover more about.  You may include what you learned/wrote about in LA, but you MUST extend and learn more!
