		<description>HEy,

It&#039;s me, Jon.  Thanks for the praise and the encouragement.  I took your advice.  This year, I had kids do a second wiki during the reading of Lord of the Flies.  Students researched a particular theme together and created a Micro-Inquiry project for others to complete.  Each inquiry project required a group of 3 students to research one paticular theme, create an article for peers to read, links to other helpful articles, and a research record for peers to complete.  Since they had already completed pre-made Inquiry projects, it was a logical step to have students MAKE the inquiry projects for others to complete.  This allowed collaborative research as well as student-generated assessments.  At the end, students were to complete the research records of the other 4 inquiry projects, enabling them to share thei expertise on each topic.  While there were a few bugs, it was a successful project.  Thanks for inspiring me to go &quot;back to the drawing board&quot;! I will be presenting that topic in Sprinfield in the fall,
