**Instructions:**
One wikipage will be allotted for each of the guides listed above. Click on the guide topic assigned to your class to take you to the wikipage.

On the wikipage, each person in the class will write specific tips or advice. We will be choosing what subtopic each person will write about, so that you will not be repeating the same information. For example, in Class 4, one person will choose to write about the first floor cafeteria, another person about the fruit shop, yet another about joining a sports club, etc.

To make this activity work, only one person should be editing the page at one time. You will take turns, one by one, in editing the page, until we finish with thirty tips on the wikipage. How do we do this?


 * 1. First, write down your advice on MS Word.**


 * 2. When your turn comes and you are finished writing your tips, you can click "Edit' to edit the wikipage.**


 * 3. Copy-paste what you wrote on Word onto the wikipage. You can also include a picture related to the tip or advice that you are giving, and place this on the right side of your paragraph/s.**


 * 4. Write your name at the bottom of the paragraph you wrote.**


 * 5. Click "Save" when you are finished. Do not forget this step.**

While waiting for your turn to edit the page, you can check other tasks we have for today, or other activities on the wiki.

Do not make changes to your classmates' advice.

Enjoy!
