Room+53+Wiki

What Room 53 will be doing with their Wiki
Each student will have their own wiki - it has already been created for you! Mr. Purnell will give you your user name and ID. You'll need to remember this or look in your agenda to sign in to your individual wiki.

The purpose of your wiki will be using digital space to:
 * The Purpose**
 * journal in the hopes of increasing writing fluency
 * reflect about what you read in the hopes of becoming a better reader and think more deeply
 * receive comments from your teacher in the hopes of fine tuning what you do as a writer and reader
 * practice in a controlled, positive environment something you'll probably be doing many years after elementary school

Your wiki is a private, personal space. Your audience is you, Mom/Dad and Mr. Purnell. (Please know, Mr. Wenger and Mrs. Myers will have access to each wiki, as well). It's not for your friends and not to share. By making this a closed wiki, we hope that you'll be willing to write from your heart and not in fear of what others may think of what you are writing.
 * The Audience**

Mr. Purnell has created a sample wiki from which you will design your own. This will be both a template and a guide. Remember, this is a process and all of your wikis, like your writing, will develop steadily as the year progresses!
 * The Layout**

Let's chat about how we can get our wikis started!
