Complete a first draft of your article for peer review in sandbox - do not add to wikipedia yet (we will do that after a round of peer review)
Add content and a citation to an article related to your topic. YOu only need to add a sentence or two!
You have some feedback from other students. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes. Make sure to write a brief summary of the major changes you have made and why.

Provide further feedback on your peers' articles
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
