Textbook: Issues in African American Music by Maultsby and Burnim
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to the course and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
As a class, we will finalize the article we want to work on and spend time today outlining the article as it stands and selecting areas we think we can improve.
By the end of class today you will know which group you'll be working with and which section of the article you're responsible for improving.
Best Practices for Working in Groups
Start your draft
In your group sandbox, start drafting your contributions.
Continue to identify what's missing from the current form of the article. Think back to the skills you learned while critiquing an article. Make notes for improvement in your group sandbox. Keep reading your sources, too, as you continue writing.
If you'd like a Content Expert to review your draft, now is the time! Click the "Get Help" button in your sandbox to request notes.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Once you've made improvements to your draft based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
It's the final week to develop our article.
