=**Welcome to the English 360 summer 2010 Wiki Project**=

**Postcolonial Literature and Theory**
British Empire 1886

The wiki project involves collaborative writing and research in small groups. For the wiki project, each group will create a page based on one of the books or authors discussed in class.

Group 1 Richard Burton, Travels in Arabia Group 2 Rider Haggard, King Solomon's Mines Group 3 Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart Group 4 Khushwant Singh, Train to Pakistan Group 5 Waguih Gali, Beer in the Snooker Club

The page that the group creates will include general historical information and also links to relevant online resources. So for example, Group 1 may want to write generally about Burton as a British colonial travel. One student might write the general historical background to Burton, another student might write about his travel narrative in the Middle East. Your collaborative wiki text will be around 5 pages writing and should include images, maps, and other graphics as well a references. For graphics, images and maps, see wiki commons. You may also want to scan images or texts, but be sure to credit all your sources.
