=Wiki Purpose=
 *  Remember, that the wiki must stay //__academically focused__// in order for it to be alive, well, and FREE! **

Some members of //Mrs. Chartier's// 2008-2009 classes at //LDMS// may be participating in this wiki for the purposes of:


 * Responding to and commenting on topics we are interested in exploring.
 * Creating written projects/ media projects and commenting on each other’s work.
 * Encouraging process writing (prewriting, drafting, editing, proofreading, publishing).
 * Practicing persuasive, descriptive, narrative, and expository writing techniques.
 * Creating collaborative strategies that may **//help you//** to become wildly successful 7th graders!
 * Practicing taking varied points of view on a topic.
 * Sharing personal events and news with friends and families.
 * Discussing current events.
 * Making suggestions, positive comments, or giving constructive criticism to help Mrs. Chartier improve for her students next year.
 * Creating FAQ pages on interesting topics.


 * Other purposes are likely to be included as teacher & student experiences with the wiki evolve.
