Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Puget Sound/The Returning Resistance. Memory, Gender, and Nationalisms in Spain (Spring)

For your final project, you will work in pairs or groups of three to create a digital memory artifact that visualizes the forced migrations provoked by the Spanish Civil War and Francoism. Your digital memory artifact will consist of the following items:

Story Map: Each group will select two exiles and turn their biographical accounts into two Story Maps (10%, 5% each). Please see list here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dbMulBQMWV_ACVcuvaHvcFYEjzIC96j7G3PZrk2IeZs/edit and sample Story Map here: https://uploads.knightlab.com/storymapjs/e18f09d9356fb7b87a8d4ec204368cbd/las-rutas-de-la-memoria/index.html
Wikipedia: Each group will translate ONE Wikipedia article for one of their two exiles (5%).
Reflective presentation: Each group will prepare a 5-minute class presentation that comments critically on your digital project (5%). Presentations will take place virtually on Wednesday, April 28, and will be open to the UPS community.

Instrucciones You will create two Story Maps exploring the journeys of two exiles whose biographical accounts illustrate the complexities of the displacements caused by the war and Francoist repression. Please see sample Story Map here: https://uploads.knightlab.com/storymapjs/e18f09d9356fb7b87a8d4ec204368cbd/las-rutas-de-la-memoria/index.html

One of your Story Maps will have a link to a Wikipedia article on the biography of ONE of your exiles. This Wikipedia article will be translated by you into English from an original article in Spanish. On Wednesday April 28, you will present a critical reflection on the project. In order to help you prepare for this reflection presentation, I have included a series of tips (reflective questions) for each step of the project. Please answer them as you complete each step and keep your answers handy. You will need to use them for your reflective presentation.

Timeline

Week 8

Course meetings

Monday, 15 March 2021 | Wednesday, 17 March 2021

In class - Introduction to the Wikipedia project

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.

Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.

To get started, please review the following handouts:

Editing Wikipedia pages 1–5
Evaluating Wikipedia

Assignment - Choose an article

You will select two exiles from these lists. You will start working on your Story Map 1, which is the map of the exile that will also have a translated Wikipedia page.

TIP 1 for reflective presentation:

Write a couple of sentences reflecting on these questions: Why did you choose this exile? Are they relatively known? What factors do you think have contributed to their (lack of) fame?

Week 9

Course meetings

Monday, 22 March 2021 | Wednesday, 24 March 2021

Assignment - Practicing the basics

-Create Wikipedia account.

-Complete “Practicing the basics” modules on Wikipedia account.

-Start conducting extensive research on the biography of your first exile. By Wednesday next week (week 10), you will need three reliable sources, three major life events and their locations, and at least three images for your Story Map.

TIP 2 for reflective presentation:

How long is the original Wikipedia article? In what language is it? How many sources does it include? In general, are you able to find reliable sources about your exile easily? What does this research process tell you about the intersections of history, identity and power?

Week 10

Course meetings

Wednesday, 31 March 2021

Assignment - Preparing for translation and Story Map

1. Copy your article from the target-language Wikipedia into your sandbox. Please make sure to translate at least the lead section and to click on the "publish changes" tab to save your work.

2. Complete modules on Wikipedia account.

3. Continue research on the biography of your first exile and bring to class all of the following:

At least three reliable sources (they can be in Spanish or English).
Information pertaining to three or four major life events significant to the political and exilic journey of your exile and their locations (for Story Map). These locations will later correspond to your Story Map slides; that is, they will become your mapped points.*
At least three images for your Story Map. Prior to class, upload your images to the Shared drive.

*TIP 3 for reflective presentation:

Throughout the mapping and writing portions of this project, it is important you keep in mind the importance of geography. Think about why things happen where they do and the relationship between each location, Spanish Republican exile, and the international political context.

Week 11

Course meetings

Monday, 5 April 2021 | Wednesday, 7 April 2021

Assignment - Continue to translate your work and research for your second Story Map

STORY MAP 2:

Paso 7. Research on the biography of your second exile and bring to class all the following:

At least three reliable sources (they can be in Spanish or English).
Information pertaining to three or four major life events (for Wikipedia) and their locations (for Story Map) significant to the political and exilic journey of your exile. These locations will later correspond to your Story Map slides; that is, they will become your mapped points.*

At least three images for your Story Map. Prior to class, upload your images to the Shared drive.

TIP for reflective presentation: In general, are you able to find reliable sources about your exile easily? What does this research process tell you about the intersections of memory, history, identity and power? How does this process compare to the one you did for the first Story Map?

SUGGESTED WIKIPEDIA WORK:

Work on the "Reference" and "Bibliography" sections.

Week 12

Course meetings

Monday, 12 April 2021

Assignment - Continue to translate your work.

STORY MAP 2:

Paso 8. Start working on your second Story Map. As you complete your Story Map 2, look at your answers for the TIP for reflective presentation sections for the Story Map 1. Use your answers to critically compare the process of creating both Story Maps.

SUGGESTED WIKIPEDIA WORK:

-Work on the "External links" section

-Finish draft of translation

In class - WEEK 12 MONDAY, APRIL 5

STORY MAP:

Story Map draft due Wednesday. Upload your images, your text, and primary source to the Shared drive.

Paso 4. Once you select three or four locations (mapped points), you will conduct additional research to find the following:

Primary sources where your selected exile narrates—or represents through artifacts (poems, paintings, newspaper articles, etc.)—how they experienced each mapped point.
Primary visual documents that illustrate those spatial locations, the events that unfolded in those locations, the way your selected exile experienced that location, or the way they participated in those events.
Any other additional information you see fit to make your Story Map informative, accessible and appealing to the general public.

TIP 4 for reflective presentation:

Who is your target audience? How are you going to make your Story Map accessible and attractive for them? What are the main takeaways of your Story Map? What kind of primary sources are you including? Why? What challenges are you encountering?

Paso 5. You will then write a biographical narrative that combines your mapped points with images, primary sources, testimony and a brief analysis of the significance of each location. The end result will be a visual map that tells the history of Spanish Republican exile via the biographies and testimonies of exiles. Post the link to the draft of your biographical narrative (google doc) on our TAREA google doc or upload it to as a word document to our Shared drive.

TIP: Use a word document to write text. Review your text extensively before uploading it to your Story Map.

TIP 5 for reflective presentation:

How is your text framing the visual elements of your Story Map? And the testimony of the exile? Are you giving enough voice and agency to your exile? What are the differences between your mode of writing and the mode the exile chooses to represent their lives? Are you positioning your exile as a witness, as a historical agent or both? What strategies are you using to highlight the connections between geography, politics and their biographies? What kinds of challenges are you encountering?

Paso 6. Submission: Upload your images, your text, and primary source to the Shared drive

by Wednesday week 12.

SUGGESTED WIKIPEDIA WORK:

-Begin to translate your work.

-If the article is missing a lead section, please include one. This section will be similar to the introductory slide of your Story Map.

-Divide the main article into at least two mini-sections: life during the Civil War and life after the war during exile.

-Work on the "Reference" and "Bibliography" sections.

-Publish your work (complete related module on Wikipedia and read instructions below)

Move sandbox articles into main space.
** If you are expanding an existing article, it's time to add your revised translation (including English sources, when available). Copy your edit into the article. If you are making many small edits, save after each edit before you make the next one. Do NOT paste over the entire existing article, or large sections of the existing article. Be sure to check the article's talk page and respond to suggestions from Wikipedians. Don't panic if your edits are removed or changed! Discuss it civilly on the article's talk page, and make a note of it for your report or presentation about your editing experience.
- If you are creating a new article, do NOT copy and paste your text, or there will be no record of your work history. Follow instruction on the "Moving out of your sandbox" handout.
In your first edit to the article namespace, include a link of the source article (i.e., the article you translated) in the "edit summary" before hitting "save."
Copy the code {{Translated page|es|Page Title}} to the bottom of the Wikipedia article, replacing es with the language code of the language you a translating from and replacing Page Title with the title of the source page.
