Wiki+3

** Wiki 3 Assignment: Due Thurs Oct 8, Worth 50 points **
Your assignment is to write a paper comparing a cell to some other object. Specifically, the FUNCTIONS of the 11 organelles should somehow connect to parts of whatever you've chosen for comparison. In class, I compared each organelle to a part of the school. Your book compares a cell to a factory. You must choose something other than a school or factory. Each organelle should have its own comparison. For example, I didn't use "Lunch Ladies" for both ribosomes and E.R. I had to come up with something different for E.R. Some of your comparisons might be a little bit of a stretch, but that's fine. Just be sure to specify the FUNCTION of the organelle and the FUNCTION of the thing you're comparing it to.

When you're ready to post your writing, you will do it on a New Page that you will create. Here's how you do that: first you have to be signed in to the wiki. Then when you're on THIS PAGE that you are currently reading, click on "New Page" over to the upper left. Make a name for your page, such as "Trixie's Wiki 3" or "Merle's Wiki 3". This will create a new page and put you right into edit mode where you can type in your paper. If you typed your paper in Word first, you can just Copy/Paste it into the edit page. Be sure to "SAVE". As a guideline, your paper should be about 2 pages in a double-spaced 12pt font. You DON'T have to double-space it in the wiki - that's more trouble than it's worth.

Once you have your paper looking the way you want it on your New Page, you will need to create a link to it on this page. Start this process by going into "Edit" mode and typing your name at the bottom of this page. Then highlight your name by clicking and dragging over it. Then click on the "Insert Link" icon - it looks like a chain. When the Linking box appears, click on "Choose an Existing Page" in small blue letters. This will pop up ALL the pages that exist under the "overlin4th" wiki. Find the name of YOUR page and click on it. You're done!
