Unit B – Plants for Food and Fibre Create groups of three. There will be one group of four (2 assistants). Each member of the group will have a role. Decide who will do what and write it on your sheet (yes everyone will have to do it on their own sheet). One person will have to be the Writer – they will be the ones to actually type in the information on the Wiki (yes spelling will count!). The writer will have an assistant. The Assistant will provide the information for the writer – yes the information needs to be accurate! The third person will the ‘Link Specialist’ and will be finding useful links and images to make the information more meaningful. The pages have already been created and you must put all the information on the page that corresponds to your group name (example: group 1 will put their info in the page that is titled on “group 1”) This activity will be for marks and each member will get a grade depending on the role they will be completing.
