  • What is the issue?

A muslim girl who is not allowed to wear a niqab and was thrown out of school and was brought before a Judge.

  • Who is affected and how?
  1. The muslim girl
  2. Her parents
  3. The teachers
  4. The High Court
  • What would you do if you were directly involved?

What i would do is to allow the girl to wear her niqab because of her religion and not only this girl but all muslim girls in Englandas well.


Wikispace Reflections 2

  • What would you change about the final product (the wiki you created) if you were to do the assignment again?

I think I would put more pictures and add more details next time.

  • Look at some of the other wikis from any class and find a few that you think are done exceptionally well. Tell me the name of the empire and the block, and then explain what you like about their wiki.

I liked the Mali empire because of the title graphics and the appropriate pictures and maps.

I like reading about the tools section in the Swahili Empire.

I like the Kongo Kingdom because of the pictures and the information about it.

I like the Ghana Empire for its unusual information such as the word Ghana means warrior or a king.

Wikispace Reflection

  • What did you learn from this task?

I learned so much about from this task for example I learn all about the history about Zimbabwe and the area around it. Besides that I learn more on Wikispaces and how to work on it.

  • Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?

i find it quite easy at first because its just researching but when it comes to the NooddleBib part i find it very difficult becuase i havent mastered how to work with NoodleBib yet.

  • What would you change about the process you went through to complete the wiki if you were to do the assignment again?

i think i have done enough except for the pictures part and i don’t really think that two weeks is a good time to work on a big thing as this.
