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 the page. Organize and format your entries so the information is acessible and easy to read.
Post the information your group finds on your groups' wiki pages at:
