=St. Clement's School Energy Generation Wiki=

Goal: The goal of this project is to create a comprehensive wiki on the generation and transmission of electric energy.

Getting Started: Students will visit the site: http://scsenergygeneration.wikispaces.com/, make and account and become a member of the page. They will then register to write on a topic around energy generation and transmission by entering their name at the top of an existing page, or by creating a new one to be approved by the teacher. A **__maximum of 3 students __**be allowed to collaborate together in the creation of a page.

The Page: Your page should focus on educating the reader on the workings of, the physics behind and the advantages/disadvantages (a critical analysis) of a form of energy generation. You should include a brief history of the technology and have pictures, diagrams and other visual support to your page. Your page should include at least 4 references, properly cited, from quality sources. If multiple people are working on a page they should make additions using their own account. It is preferable if groups collaborate on every section instead of dividing it up and working independently.

Guidelines: · The majority of the page should be in proper sentence structure with limited lists. · References **must be properly cited** and all work should be in your own words, do not use copy and paste but read and take notes on your resources and then write your conclusions. · Your explanation of method of generation should focus on the physics behind the source of power and the conversion of that energy into electrical energy. · Your critical analysis should be your own analysis of the method of generation/transmission weighing the advantages/disadvantages. · The page should be between 500-800 words. If there is a large discrepancy between the amounts of work done by group members the mark will be weighted to reflect this.
