Notable Females through Inclusive Journalism is a research project for a school in California. Up to 65 students will be researching and editing articles on notable individuals (Mostly, but perhaps not all, female) who are notable in their own rights but are easier to document in Wikipedia thanks to inclusive journalistic practices. This project both ties in with our intersession theme of inclusive journalism and our ongoing lessons around the threshold concept that "authority is constructed and contextual," particularly focusing on the way that gatekeeping in publishing impacts who gets written about on Wikipedia and the fact that the identity of editors on Wikipedia impacts who gets written about. Participants will search for sources with guidance from the library and then they will edit and cite the sources they reference in the Simple English Wikipedia article.
They will be writing and editing articles in January, 2023, at several points between 3pm UTC and 10pm UTC each day. Teachers will check work in the following days. Please give us until at least February 15, 2023, to have students complete their work.
NOTE: This year the storms made us cancel several days of school during the structured research on this project. Cleanup is taking a bit more work than expected. Trying to remove all templates by February 28, 2023.
