A wiki is an online database that can be easily edited by users. The document provides instructions for students to create wikis about Roman or Greek gods, which must include background information, names, powers, family connections, and a well-known story about the god. Students are also directed to include headings, sub-headings, links to other pages, and citations from sources used in creating their wiki. Their wikis will later be assessed through a rubric, conference, and scavenger hunt to find information on classmates' wikis.
