Directions for Updating the Wiki

General Procedure (applies to everyone, all teams and Reps)

Remember you have three different sets of questions to answer about The Buzz Buzz Boom. Each set of questions needs to be handled by one representative from your team. In the team list (above), find your team (everyone has added their wiki signature, right?), and identify who is the Rep for each set of questions.

The three sets of questions are:

  1. What the article says and means
  2. What's thunder got to do with it - revisit the link for a list of questions comparable to Sets 1 & 3.
  3. Theory determines Interpretation
  • This means each team has one identified member who is responsible for posting - on their own User Page - the answers your team has agreed upon for each set of questions.
  • I fiddled with the teams (see above) who have already posted some answers in order to provide examples for the coding.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE RULES! Every team's answers (within each set of questions) must be different from the answers of other teams! If there are duplicate answers, the team who posted first will get credit. Teams who posted later need to come up with a different answer that a) fits and b) adds to the whole picture. Do not assume is only one right answer per question! Don't assume that your classmates 'got it right' - they might have missed something that someone in your team noticed!

Specifics for Set #3: Theory determines Interpretation

Your answer to #1 cannot be "interpersonal communication." We know that already! Your library catalog code refers to a discipline, or sub-discipline, or specific subject matter that happens to include some information about interpersonal communication.

When you figure out for sure what category you're in, add the label to the header of your team section. After the library catalog code, write the label IN CAPS.

Specifics for Set #2: What's thunder got to do with it?

As mentioned somewhere else, be sure to talk with your teammates about their experience and try to collect as much information as possible! One of your best sources might be the freewriting that everyone did the first day of class - although I'm not sure if everyone wrote about it or it just came up in conversation in class. Do you remember what happened in class that brought that topic up? (I do!) See if anyone else remembers. It is important!

Specifics for Set #1: What the short story says and means

You have the hardest task, because you need to convey a clear understanding of the article without considering any of the information from Set #2 or Set #3. You are taking Seth's writing on its own terms, from the author's point-of-view. There might be overlap in the team answers to the first question, but otherwise I expect different answers because everyone will notice and value, or be puzzled by, different things!

Please be sure to add the link to the actual, original questions on your own User Page with your answers.

Presentations on Monday and Wednesday

Each Team Rep needs to be prepared to explain your team's answers and support the answers with evidence and reasoning! Be ready for questions and challenges. I am going to want to know WHY you answered in the way you did, and also HOW you can be confident in your answers. Be good team members and prepare each Rep so they are able to think on their feet with the combined knowledge of your whole team. (Remember "Find that Wiki!" - Reps will be representing your team on their own. If you want them to do well, make sure you give them whatever you've got!)
