=**TEACHER PORTAL**= The //Fahrenheit 451// Wiki

**Directions for using this Wiki for Literature Circle Discussion work**
__TASK:__ Make a **real world connection**, and if you wish, **extend any points from your discussion**. (Minimum of one comment and one response per week.) Ideas for connections (text to self, text to world): Your own daily life and habits, your future, current events, magazines, other books you have read, movies, advertising, etc. You may add links (under Navigation) to any online materials that you want your group to see and discuss; however, you can only embed videos and images directly. To avoid linking/displaying other potentially inappropriate content, embed **direct code or images** to the specific material you want to share (i.e. do not link to YouTube URL).

__REMEMBER:__ Work exclusively with the Discussion tab. (Do not use your Group’s home page.) Use language appropriate to the Humanities classroom. Think of this wikispace as a cyber-extension of the class environment.

__ACCOUNTABILITY:__ The Checker for the next Literature Circle Discussion is responsible for checking that all group members have complied with these expectations. All activity on the wiki should cease by **Monday night (6 pm)** so the Checker can verify each person’s contribution.

Introductory information
Welcome to wikispaces. You will be regularly adding comments and insight following each literature circle session. You will be adding comments and thought provoking ideas that you may have forgotten or simply didn’t add while in your Literature Circle Group. You may even want to make worldly connections.

Please look for an e-mail invitation to join wikispaces for your group in the account you have listed on the OLC.
