the information your group finds on each of the individuals, concepts
and devices listed below. You will be given time in class to work on
this assignment over the next few weeks as we move through the relevent
sections of
Empires of Light. Do not copy copy directly from
your sources but synthesize what you learn and write your own accounts.
Put a citation after each item to those pages in Jonnes, websites, or
other sources you used in putting together your entries. The division
of labor in your group is up to you but each entry to this page should
include the names of those who did the writing and research. Also
remember to put your group memebers' names at the top of this page.
Move these instructions to the bottom of the page so you can consult
them later and try and organize and format your entries so the
information is acessible and easy to read. Note that you cannot have
two people trying to post enties to the same wetpaint page at the same
time so you may find it useful to work in an HTML editor (or use Word
and save as a web page) before pasting your entry to the wiki.
