= __The Process:__ = = = =  = =   =   **Step 1:**
 * Choose who your partner (s) are. No more than 3 students per group.
 * You must use your login I.D. given to you in class or "GKBGuest" and the password is "Garrett". This will allow you to create a "New Page" on the wiki.
 * Decide which element you want to learn more about. Do this quickly!! The first two groups to pick an element and create a new page get that element.


 * Step 2: **
 * Research your element using the [|Periodic Table Pathfinder].
 * I suggest using the [|websites] page or the [|database] page on the Periodic Table Pathfinder.
 * Find further information in our library with these [|books].
 * If you get lost in the terminology use the class notes on The Home page or use [|keywords] found on the Periodic Table Pathfinder.
 * You may want to complete one Area listed on The Task page at a time. Add that information to your page, save it, then go onto the next Area.


 * Step 3: **
 * Go to our GKB Periodic Table wiki and select **New Page**.
 * Give your page a title including the element name. Then click the **Create** button.
 * Click **Edit This Page**.
 * Type in your information you found researching the websites, databases, and books.
 * Be sure to organize this so it is easily read.
 * Click **Save**.
 * Check the checklists and rubric to be sure you have all the required information.


 * Step 4: **
 * Be sure to cite all your information you found by including an MLA citation for each source used. Click on this link [|plagarism], to see how Wikipedia defines plagarism. It is a crime to take anothers ideas and/or words as your own. Link everything you can to another website, student site, database, or dictionary.
 * [|Citation Machine] is an online citation maker that can help you in creating these.
 * [|MLA examples] can be found at the following link.


 * Step 5: **
 * Presentations in class. Here is where you get to share your results of you wiki page to your classmates. Be sure to include any fun or unique properties of your element that you learned.
