Assignments

1. Try to find out on your own how to work with the wiki.

--> Make use of the toolbar that you can find above the text field.

--> You can also make use of the sheet ("Wegweiser zur erfolgreichen Arbeit im Wiki") you have just received by your teacher.

--> Or follow the web links listed on this sheet.

--> From now on you are supposed to list each new word in the "word bank" in alphabetical order!

2. Use the wiki to introduce yourself by clicking on your username (you find it on top right) and designing your own account.

You are now the author of an e-zine and you have the chance to introduce yourself to your readership. Tell the readers what

your field of interest is and why you like writing about it. (Do not forget about the extension of the "word bank"!!!)

3. Illustrate your user account by adding pictures that characterise yourself best. Also, add a picture that characterises

your field of interest. If you work for the column "Books and Films" for example you can add a picture of your favorite book or film.

4. Meet in your groups and agree on 3-5 topics you want to write about within your column. What kind of articles do you want to write, a report, an interview, a review or rather a completely different one? Do you want to add any other material like a film report?

5. Work in pairs and together create one article on one of your chosen topics. (Think of the “word bank”!)

6. Meet up in your groups again. Read what your group members have written and give positive as well as negative feedback, correct all mistakes and improve parts of the articles if necessary. (Think of the word bank!)

7. Revise the design of your column (concerning structure, illustration etc.) and find a suitable and above all creative name for your column. (Don’t forget about the word bank!)

8. Read the columns created by the other groups and give feedback (positive as well as negative). Make use of the forum (“Diskussion”). Correct mistakes and improve the texts if necessary. (Revise the word bank.)

9. Find a suitable name for your e-zine. Write an introduction. Is this an authentic e-zine?
