We will use this wiki for the Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship Wiki Project.
In this wiki, students in WRTG 3020 will introduce Social Entrepreneurship in general, and then break it down by examining SE work going on in a variety of sectors. Each page will focus on a different sector, with small groups of 2-5 students working on each sector. Here are the sectors each group will research, and the names of people in that group:


 * General Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship
 * Carrie, David
 * Education
 * Corinne, Carter, Marcus, Liz
 * Energy
 * Wes, Kevin, Steven
 * Health Care
 * Alex, Ken
 * Housing
 * Ben, Sam, Stephanie
 * Hunger, Nutrition, Food
 * John, Chloe, Devin, Laura, Erin
 * Human Rights
 * Erika, Doug

__** FOR STUDENTS: **__ You will create these pages collaboratively in your groups. Each page will include the following:
 * Brief introductory text giving an overview of the kinds of problems commonly experienced in that sector, and the kinds of work going on in that sector in general.
 * Three or four case studies of social entrepreneurship endeavors in that particular sector: at least one example of work going on in the U.S., and at least one international example.
 * An annotated list of 5-10 resources (depending on the number of people in your group; brief annotations are fine), both scholarly and popular (from a variety of sources: newspapers, magazines, books, websites, blogs, etc) that provide further information or further examples.
 * In your annotation include the full bibliographic info for the source (MLA format) and a brief summary of the source.
 * Provide links links to any web resources (websites, blogs, YouTube videos, etc). You may also embed videos and photos into your page (giving credit to the original source, of course).

Additional Assignment Notes:
 * You can't just copy and paste case studies from other websites like Dowser.org! But you can incorporate information from that (and any other) site.
 * Make sure to cite sources within your text, using MLA in-text citation format.
