All semester, we have thought about the research, drafting, and writing process. You have gained expertise on a specific topic of your choosing by writing about that subject through different assignments and forms.

Now, we're ending this semester on Wikipedia...where you will be applying what you have learned about your topic and contributing to Wiki pages connected to your topic.

This is exciting! You will be making a big (worldwide) impact! Even with a small contribution.
