Content Creation/Evaluation Assignment This class has focused on the ability to retrieve, evaluate, utilize, share and create content. As discussed in the textbook, lectures and throughout the semester, one of the features of Web 2.0 (Links to an external site.) is a focus on user-generated content (Links to an external site.), participatory culture (Links to an external site.) and interoperability for end users. The ability to create and contribute to content continues to change and become easier for more individuals. This assignment addresses all the aspects of media/technological literacy from this class with a focus on creating content. Perhaps Wikipedia (Links to an external site.) is one of the strongest examples of Web 2.0 and application of media/technological literacy. For this assignment you will complete a 3-4 minute video presentation of how you expanded a ‘stub (Links to an external site.)’ on Wikipedia. Starting with Wikipedia you must first look for a stub (Links to an external site.) (incomplete article on Wikipedia). All stub articles on Wikipedia are classified as so and contain the following text at the bottom of the page ‘article is a stub’ You can search Wikipedia to find a stub article by going directly to Wikipedia and searching topics you have an interest in. Or you can use easier search methods that were taught in Module 2. For example In Google (Links to an external site.) or Duck Duck Go (Links to an external site.) (DDG), keyword(s) “article is a stub” site:en.wikipedia.org Or even more specific “article is a stub” ‘your topic of interest here’ site:en.wikipedia.org Thus if I used DDG and searched “article is a stub” ‘baseball’ site:en.wikipedia.org (Links to an external site.) The first result I would find is the ‘Baseball5’ After finding an stub to edit, you need to create an account. When you do, you will have a user page. You must create an account and sign in or you will not receive credit for the assignment. This is because I must be sure you completed the edits. If you are signed in, then all your edits are recorded under your account name. This allows me to see how versions are different. It will lead to a page like this (Links to an external site.), which lists contributions.  Then you are required to take an existing article stub and expand it. You will be required to make an argument for the quality and quantity of your expansion to the stub. Argue why you have contributed enough that the stub status should be removed. The following page (Links to an external site.) should provide you with information and links to help make this argument. First, begin with an explanation of the stub you are editing and why you choose it. Provide a description of why this is interesting to you and why you believe the stub needs to be expanded. Why would anyone care about this content when there is so much information/content out there to access? Then discuss who would be interested in reading the article and why? What is the importance of it? Next explain what changes you made and why the changes you made improve the stub. Make sure to explain what content you linked to and why this is important. Do you believe you created enough content to remove the stub status? Why? What did you leave out of your content and why? Consider using elements from previous units in this class and the textbook to strengthen your discussion. You will want to include an image of your user contributions page.  Then remember from the Media Skills video there are four things to look out for in content, they are Relevance, Accuracy, Bias and Reliability. Address and evaluate how each of these relate to the content you created. In conclusion bring the project together. Explain why content creation is important amd the value that you continued through expanding this stub. Remember this video must be between 3-4 minutes. Please also consult the rubric for specific point allocation.  If you have never edited a Wikipedia page before, below are two links that offer some beginning instructions. How to edit a Wikipedia article 1 (Links to an external site.) How to edit a Wikipedia article 2 (Links to an external site.) Also remember you must create your user page in Wikipedia, this page tells you how (Links to an external site.)

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
