Reflection Number 2
\What would you change about the final product (the wiki you created) if you were to do the assignment again?
If I were to do the assignment again, on the final product, I would have put links to other pages on all the pages. For example, on the kings page I would make a link saying ” Go back to main page”. We had a few of those on our wiki but not for all of the pages. It would have looked more proffesional if all the pages had links like that. Also what I would have changed would be to have more pictures on the pages. This would have been better because then our audience could really understand what we are trying to explain. For example, on our section clothing, we described how it looked like. Like, the Boubou clothing has long pants that go down to your ankles…etc. If we had a picture our audience would see how this clothing looks like. Another thing that I would change on our wiki would be, on some pages to add a little more information. On some pages like Climate and Vegetation there isn’t that much information. I think if we had more time we could do a little more research so that each of our pages are nice andd thorough.
Look at some of the other wikis from any class and find a few that you think are done exceptionally well. Tell me the name of the empire and the block, and then explain what you like about their wiki.
Kongo Kingdom-Block E
I liked how on their main page they used cooltext for their different categories. They even got them to link too! That was really cool! Also, I really liked the backround information page. I really like how first they just told you how the kindom started, and basically just the base of the empire. That was really good beause maybe their audience didn’t even know about the Kongo kingdom! They could just go to that page and learn just the basic things about the empire, and then get into detail. On the environment page, I liked how under agriculture, they listed all their crops. Then they linked the wordds to pictures of how the crop looked like. This was really good because maybe some people don’t know how the crop looks like.
The Zimbabwe Kingdom-Block E
This group did a great job on getting information. I noticed that each page was extremely thourough. They had information on all kinds of things! Like, attidude, wild life, etc. They got nearly every category on the assignment sheet!I really liked how they had so much information because its noyt really just about the pictures and presentation, it’s mainly about the information.
Swahili Trading States-Block E
I liked how this group had a lot of pictures on their wiki it really made clearer to understand what they were explaining.
Ancient Mali-Block H
I liked how on the Human page they made a big category on entertainment. It was really interesting to know all these things that this Empire did. It was nice to know what they did in their free time back then. I liked how they explained on the Environment page, what they ate and how they got the food. I also really like how this group made a timeline.
