**If you would like your India Quest Grade, you can email me and I'll send it to you (make sure that you put your name in the email). Reminder: Go back and read previously posted comments for edits and suggestions from me.**

__Monday 2/8/10__
**Do you think that Korphe gets this much snow? I'm wondering if there is a glacier under here, somewhere.**

__Saturday 2/6/10__
**There are many spelling and grammatical errors; please go back and read previous posts to check and edit.**

1. make sure you do not have popups blocked on your computer-- that way you will receive messages when other people are editing. 2. Make lines on the page for new topics, which create different sections. As long as two people are editing two different SECTIONS, it should be ok. To create lines, go to the editing toolbar, and click the line button, which is to the right of the number and bullet button
 * The wikispaces team responded and it sounds like our best bet is to do two things:

- Make sure to check back on your past comments to see if there are any comments from me.

- Here is a great site from** [|****BBC****] **about Central Asia.

- If you are having trouble thinking of something to write, refer to your three Jr. Scholastic questions (page 2 in your notebook)**

** __Wednesday 2/3/10__ **
**- I'm seeing excellent comments and links to some great sources!**


 * - Reminder: make sure you check spelling and capitalization-- if you use [|Firefox], the Wiki has spell check!

- Use key words when you search-- avoid writing out a whole question. For example, you'll get better results if you type "Afghanistan geography" than if you type, "What types of geography can be found in Afghanistan?" (too long)

- Please categorize your posts; keep similar ideas together (for example, three posts about language should all appear in the same place-- not at the top, middle, and bottom of a page.

- Do NOT recover a previous draft if someone else has edited since then. If people have edited since your last draft, click, "discard previous draft" to protect the other peoples' work.**

Mrs. Garfield will post in __green__. **
 * Mrs. Cerniglia will post in __purple__.
