 * Welcome to the vocabulary wiki for English 12**

=Welcome to our Vocabulary Wiki! =

 **Why a** **wiki?**  In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a //wiki// is an easy to use collaborative website where members can all update and make changes to content. This is a collaborative environment that I ask you to respect and participate in as if you were in our live classroom. Having all words defined in one place online will allow each of you to access, review, print, and study at your convenience.

 **Skills being emphasized?**  A wiki will not only lend convenience to our study of vocabulary but it will also serve as a forum to work on collaboration. Each person doing their part in this assignment will contribute to the good of the whole.

 **Assessment?**  You will be assessed in two ways on this assignment -- on the quality and quantity of your contribution to the wiki and on Vocabulary quizzes.
