Wikis

5th grade students completed a collaborative research project about a famous world explorer as part of a social studies unit. Students researched their explorer during library classes and then created wikis to present their findings. Students were tasked with writing a short biography of their explorer, creating a timeline of important events, and creating a modified bibliography to attribute their sources of information.
