Schools/Projects/easell

EASELL (Editing Articles in Simple English by Language Learners) is a research project for a school in California. Up to 37 students will be editing and expanding stub articles on science, history, and literature that relate to their content classes. A few students will be translating articles from other languages' Wikipedias that are currently stubs in Simple English. They will research in library reference sources and then they will edit and cite the sources they reference in the Simple English Wikipedia article.

Each year, they will create their accounts in early March, and they will be doing the actual editing between April 4 and June 10. In April, students will make small edits. In early May, student will make paragraphs of additions. In late May, classmates will circle back to pages and make further edits. Teachers will look over the work and make editorial changes as needed. So, while the class project will be stretched out over two months, we would invite--and even encourage--editors to interact with all pages on our class project after mid-May.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we learn by doing. --swim123blue (talk)

Please note: students will be preparing their sentences in a Google Doc (as they are working individually, with a partner, or in groups) and pasting them in all at once. They are not plagiarizing, I will be checking for that.
