American Time Period Wiki Self/Peer-Community Assessment

Now that you have established and created your wiki page for the respective time period,
use the following rubric to assess how well you have research and represented this
literary and historical movement.

First, with an objective lens, critique your page. An explanation justifying your
assessment is a vital piece of this assessment. Should you need additional
“commentary” space, type in a word document any additional reflections of your product
and its contents.

Next, evaluate the other two Time Period wikis from the AP Community page. For
example, if you created the Colonial Period page, now assess with the same critical lens
the other two AP community Colonial Period Wiki pages, including commentary and
feedback. Again, if you need additional “commentary” space, please type additional
reflections.

Note to Contemporary Period Wikis: Because there are only two Contemporary Wiki
pages, please critique a Postmodern page as your second peer/community page.

Wiki Self/Peer-Community Assessments should be thoughtful, constructive, and objective.

The feedback you provide should help you carefully edit and revise your content so that
as we continue to use these valuable resource pages, any viewer can be accurately
informed and enlightened by the synthesis of your research.
