= Literature Circles--To Kill A Mockingbird = = Home Page = = Welcome to your Literature Circle Wiki! = = = = What is a Wiki? = A Wiki is a collaborative project. Your effort reflects your group's grade. == = Task = You will be reading //To Kill a Mockingbird// by Harper Lee. As a literature group, you will be assigned certain roles with each reading. You are expected to fulfill your role in your group and do it well. Not following directions and fulfilling your role as assigned will result in a lower grade for you and your group. Special Note: Wikispaces does not support multiple users editing at the same time. When your group is working on your wiki page at the same time, your group members will need to create in a WORD document the information first. Then, one member at a time will copy and paste their content from their WORD Doc and save. If your group does not do this step, then all the group work will be lost. Wikispaces does not support multiple users editing at the same time. Sorry!! = Where does your group find their assignment? = All assignments will be posted on the home page. Follow the directions carefully.
