CharacterDiscussion

We are going to switch it up a little bit for one of our final wikiwednesday prompts.

There will be one board (this one). You MUST read the directions carefully. If you do this well, it will be a lot of fun and interesting conversation.

Choose a character/figure (either your favorite or the one you regard as the most significant) that you have met in the course readings this semester. Write a post introducing yourself to the group. Who are you? What do you know? What do you care about? What do you think about? What has influenced you? What is your deal? (consider aspects of characterization as well as the primary text) **__NO REPEATS__**! If your character has already been selected, you must choose someone else. Read the ENTIRE LIST. This means you MUST scroll to the next page, as all entries do not appear on the first page (just the most recent).
 * Original Post:**

Read through the other introductions and decide who would be the best match as your new BFF. Be creative, and try not to seek the easiest answer. Reply to that prompt explaining what you have in common, why you might be good friends, etc.
 * Reply 1:**

Read through the other introductions and decide who have a connection with (maybe you believe you had the most impact on, or who had the most impact on you). Reply to the prompt discussing your connection.
 * Reply 2:**

Create a wikipage introducing your selected character/figure
 * WikiPage**
 * 1) Click on new page at the top (underneath the cavs logo)
 * 2) Title your page with **your first name** and your chosen **character's last name**
 * 3) edit the page to add pictures, links, text, etc. to represent your character (think a school appropriate myspace page if your character lived today)
 * 4) Return to THIS page and click on "edit this page." Add a link to your character's page at the bottom of this page.
 * 5) Start reading other character pages, and make some new character friends by posting in their discussion area.
 * 6) Ask for help before Tuesday--Shubert is HAPPY to help.
 * 7) Who can have the best page? Who can have the most buzz/discussion around their page?
 * 8) You have extra time to complete this wiki wednesday. It will be due when we return. Your created page will help us see what you have learned to do in wikispaces this semester!

Name links go to character pages, while name text means the character has been introduced on the discussion board (and is therefore spoken/written for) but a page has not been linked yet.
