You will no longer be able to post on the discussion board or create wikipedian assignments after Friday, August 3rd at noon. At that time you must have submitted all of your papers directly to ude.nacirema|haras#ude.nacirema|haras and completed the course.

Just a reminder, make sure that you include your name on your wikipedian assignments. Otherwise, you will not receive credit for your pages! Double check on the pages you have already posted, as several of them are nameless.

A comment about your "book talk papers". Be sure to connect the articles from Rethinking our Classrooms directly to the texts. For example, you might discuss the article on tracking when you think about how a students like Christopher (from The Curious Incident...) might be included in a regular school environment. You should cite the chapter from Rethinking Our Classrooms that you draw from in your papers.
