It would be really interesting to average out how many corrections you and your classmates had to make on the number of articles you all wrote about to see the typical number of mistakes in articles.Alison Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288221733831016620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122124822622973151.post-37937913376721978552011-03-29T09:33:47.992-04:002011-03-29T09:33:47.992-04:00I had a similar project last semester in which I h...I had a similar project last semester in which I had to revise a wikipedia page for a specific historical topic. We had to format our paper to look like a real wikipedia page and everything.

My youngest sister is 10 years old and when she needs to look things up online, her teachers tell her not to use Google, but to use Wikipedia because its always accurate. The first time she told me this I almost fell out of my chair because I was so shocked.
