Fifth Graders Create Some Marvelous Wikis

April 10, 2026

One of the fifth graders’ final projects for the semester will be creating and developing their own wikis based on their reading of The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton. From now until the end of the term, students will use their wiki as a knowledge base to track the many characters, settings, and magical elements in the story.

Each student has been assigned specific categories to focus on. As they read, they will gather information and add organized entries to their wiki. As the project progresses, students will move beyond simple note-taking and begin engaging in more complex tasks, such as organizing, refining, and curating their content in thoughtful ways.

We are excited to see students strengthen their collaboration and organizational skills while bringing their creative ideas to life through this project.
