Welcome to our wiki for Latin III.
General Remarks
(or, How and Why to Use a Wiki)
This page will serve as one venue for our collaborative work in class.
- Wikis are secure.
- You will receive a personal password to work on this site. Do not share it with anyone, period.
- You will never identify yourself by your full name online.
- You will never have to provide any personal information.
- This starting page is the only course page visible to the general public. Only our class can access the other pages.
- A wiki can function as an environmentally friendly way to write.
- Editing is as easy as typing in a standard word processor.
- No special technical knowledge is required.
- A wiki expands the ways in which you can write, communicate, and collaborate.
- Since the wiki is online, you can access it around the clock from anywhere you have internet access.
- Classmates and the teacher can easily comment on your work.
- You can easily comment on the writing and ideas of others.
- It is simple to build a "dialog" by quickly typing your response to another's thoughts or suggestions.
- Revision is a breeze. Just edit, type, and save.
How to Tell Who's Done What
Let's all use the same default font. Stay away from red, yellow, and weird font sizes. I'd suggest that you pick a fairly dark color or just use black and italics (obviously, that can only be one person). The entries by your names are just samples.

How to Document Your Contributions
There are too many of us to play around with separate fonts for everyone. Here are some requirements.
- Type in this default mystery font only.
- I will make my in-page comments clear by using boldface black.
- Make sure your comments are relevant when you use the Comment feature at the bottom of each page.
Example from a Student Translation Page
You're on the right track, but here are a couple of points to consider:
- The guests almost certainly did not carry in the tray themselves.
- The participle in this sentence is not perfect active. What is it?
