The final project in this class will entail the creation/substantial enhancement of a Wikipedia article about an object/building/archival document of your choice from Dura-Europos. Early in the semester you will have a chance to choose “your” object, and through a series of homeworks and in-class discussions throughout the following weeks, you will “get-to-know” the “adopted object” that will eventually be the subject of your Wikipedia article. Important milestone (graded) assignments that will lead up to the final Wikipedia article include: Annotated Bibliography: a list of scholarly sources (books, articles, and documents), where each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph (the annotation). The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Lightning Presentation: you will give a brief in-class presentation about your “adopted object” on Oct. 26. The purpose of this presentation is to share what you have learned so far about your object and get help and feedback from peers and instructor about any difficulties you’ve encountered in your research. Draft and Peer Review: upload a digital copy + bring hard copy of draft to class on Nov. 16; you will read and comment on your peers’ drafts.
