How will you type in the box? At the top of the page is a green box that says "Edit this Page." Click on that and then click on "floating toolbar," that way, you won't have to keep going back up to the top of the page to save. The boxes look small now, but that's okay. They'll get wider as you type. Enter your findings and then rate which of the texts, the wiki or the hard copy, in the aspect you compared and explain your rating. There are blank boxes for aspects of comparison that we hadn't considered.
