Each group member will have a specific role for this project. Read the descriptions below before your group meeting so you have an idea which role you would like. Make sure your group fills out the role sheet and turns it in.
Link Layer: Links are essential on any website that you create because they allow readers to explore the topic that you’re discussing on their own—and to validate that the information you share is accurate. The Link Layer of your group is responsible for all of the links included in your document. Link Layers should begin by identifying logical places to insert links in your group’s work. They should also check each source for bias or accuracy and be willing to replace any references to questionable websites that have been included in your group’s work.
Flow Master: The Flow Master of your group is responsible for reviewing your group’s work to make sure that your readers aren't left confused. They should be on the constant lookout for sentences that don’t make sense or places that make readers go, “Huh?” The Flow Master should read, reread, and reread again. After all, wikis change every day. If there are any text sections that need clarifying, the Flow Master should make revisions that improve the readability of your group’s document.
Discussion Starter: Good group projects begin and end with conversations. After all, how can you really work together if you don’t take the time to talk to one another about what you’re producing? To make sure that conversations are a part of your wiki, you’re going to need a Discussion Starter. Your Discussion Starter’s home is going to be the discussion board of your group’s wiki page. Their job: to ask constant questions about what it is that your group is producing.
Spelling Cop/Captain Spit-and-Polish For this project we will combine the Spelling Cop and Captain Spit-and-Polish. The Spelling Cop of your group has a seemingly simple job: checking the spelling of every single word that is added to your group’s document. The Spelling Cop had better be persistent, though—each new revision is another chance for a word to be misspelled! As Captain Spit-and-Polish you will also be in charge of the layout and look of your page. You will add the graphics, videos, etc. and make sure your page is visually appealing.
