//The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.//

//`Who are// // YOU ////?' said the Caterpillar.//

//This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I// // WAS // //when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'//

//`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. **`Explain yourself!'**// -From __Alice in Wonderland__ by Lewis Carroll

Welcome to the Cooperative Online Learning Environment for your Multi-Genre Research Projects! Here, you will find a variety of tools to help you with the process of creating your multi-genre research projects. Throughout this unit, you will be able to visit this space to refresh your memories on project guidelines and requirements, to participate in peer-editing activities with your classmates, and to complete individual online assignments. Each day, this site will be updated with important news and information regarding your multi-genre research projects. If you are unsure of due dates or assignment descriptions, this should be the first place you look. And what's awesome about this is that you can access the information from anywhere--from school, from home, from anywhere! Take a moment to explore the site. Notice the links on the left-hand side of the page. Here is what each link does: **Assignment:** When you click on this link, you will find Multi-genre Research Assignment description.


 * Calendar:** When you click on this link, you will find a calendar for the entire unit . Each day, the calendar will be updated with a description of what we did in class that day, with any important assignments and handouts, and with reminders. The calendar will also include important due dates, right from the very beginning of the unit. If you are absent from class at any point. this calendar will be a great place for you to check up on classwork and homework assignments.


 * Final Projects:** When you click this link, you will find the space where you will upload your final projects . We won't use this space until the end of the unit.


 * Group:** When you click on this link, you will find the Online Group Work Space . You will be completing your multi-genre research project individually, but you will also be assigned to a learning group (you will have the same group for the entire unit). Sometimes, we will do group work, like peer-review sessions. Many times, we will do this group work in class, but often, you will be expected to complete group work outside of class. This space allows you to do that online, from your very own home!
