Most of you will be very familiar with collecting information from a web site and including this information in your work on a particular topic. This use of the internet was the first generation of web technology. Today the web has moved past this to the second generation of web sites, these sites not only allow you to take information and use it in your work (as you have done in the past with due acknowledgement) but they also allow you to comment, add, challenge, edit and interact with the information.

The ability to share information in this way does depend on collaboration. Please don't just take what you need but ensure that you leave something for others as well. Always ensure you understand the information that you are taking.

As this is a result of the work of individuals in your classes you will not need to acknowledge this source any more than you would the notes you take in class.

This wiki is infact a means of connecting the three year 11 classes and the work that you have all completed. It should refelct and extend the thinking and converstations that have occured in class and be a place where you can clarify ideas and extend your understanding of this text.

If you leave responses to the **Novel Summary** or the **Three Level Guide** please follow the conventions that have been established for these. For example, if you wish to leave a summary for a chapter that does not have one, firstly you will need to create a hyperlink on the **Novel Summary** page. To do this you simply go the the Novel Summary click on 'Edit this Page' wait a few seconds for the editing page to come up, highlight the nominated chapter and then click on the hyperlink icon at the top of the page, a box will appear that will create a new page with the title of the chapter, click 'Save'. Now, you will need to 'Save' the change made on the Novel Summary page and it will then revert to the interactive page where you can click on the Chapter title to go to the page you have just created. When you have the chapter page in front of you click on "Edit this page" wait for the editing page to appear and clear the information about page edits that comes up. You will need to search Google images in a new tab to find the image of your card and this will need to be saved to your file. Click on the 'Image' icon (the one with the palm tree), select the 'Browse' button under Upload a new file and then double click on the image you saved in your file, you will then need to 'Upload' this to the wiki. Once uploaded you will then be able to select this image to be inserted on your chapter page. A dialogue box with some settings will also appear, please align the image so that it is in the centre and in the captions box include the title and page of the chapter, simply close the box by clicking on the "X" and these settings will be saved. You can now type your summary as you would in a Word doc. Please be aware that there is no spell check, so if you wish you could copy a file from Word and just paste it in and know that it is spelt correctly.
