Make sure you do the GoogleDocs Tech Tip first, before you do any other tips this semester.
In addition to the English-language Wikipedia, there are Wikipedias in other languages. These can be very useful for different kinds of research questions. For this Tech Tip you will choose a Wikipedia in another language, search that Wikipedia and send me a link to the article you chose.
STEP ONE: Choose. Go to the main Wikipedia.org main page which shows a Wikipedia globe, surrounded by languages, with an additional list of languages at the bottom of the page, arranged according to the number of articles in the Wikipedia for that language. Choose the Wikipedia for a language other than English that you have some familiarity with. For example, I frequently use the Latin Wikipedia, which is Vicipaedia.
STEP TWO: Search. Search the Wikipedia you have chosen for anything you are interested in - a place, a person, an animal, a concept, anything at all. For example, here is the address of the Latin Vicipaedia article about the Etruscans: http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etrusci
STEP FOUR: Email. Send me an email with the address of the article you chose. Please give this subject line to your email: Tech Tip Wikipedia.
When you have sent in the email, you can enter this tip on your GoogleDocs Checklist and then do the Gradebook Declaration for Extra Credit. Here is the text of the Gradebook Declaration you will complete:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
