Resource Description
Instructions: Author Web Sites
You are required to construct an author web site to compliment your class presentation. Just like the class presentation, the web presentation is a group effort which should teach every member of the group how to effectively construct a web page using HTML code.
Group web sites should provide a convenient way for other students to access research conducted on the assigned text and be as user friendly and professional as possible. This assignment emphasizes collaboration, technical achievement and innovation as equal parts of the same project. The success of the web site depends upon how far these three categories are explored and how mastery in these three areas is demonstrated.
Requirements
The group web age should:
* be completed for the class presentation (Group One will be given a week to revise their site)
* operate as an educational web site that combines technology with learning in an effective and professional manner
* function as a research page, offering interesting links to related topics, commentary about its given topic and easy access to the novice web researcher
* include at least five annotated web links
* be as creatively constructed as possible
* operate as a study guide for the upcoming examination, addressing key aspects of the text; examination questions are likely to draw from group web sites.
Web pages should show imaginative effort and technical knowledge, and should attempt to go beyond the basic requirements of this assignment as they are listed above. Web sites will be evaluated according to the criteria listed above and will be graded in conjunction with the presentation.
You are obviously welcome to upload your web site to Webspace, but I will upload your site to the class web server once it is completed. Save your author homepage as "group#.html" - be exact, use no capitals and insert only your group number! Example: "group2.html."
In Addition
Look at other research web sites for what to do/ not to do for your own web page.
Make sure to save your page(s) and image(s) using unique names (preferably using a variation of the title of your homepage). When your information is uploaded to the class web server it will go into a single file, so that if your group's document is named the same as another group's document, the two documents will get mixed up. For example, if Group One and Group Two both have a picture labeled "author.jpg," Group One's author might appear on Group Two's page.
When dealing with HTML documents, always work from one folder that you keep on either your Webspace account, or in the Teacher's Folder. The links in your HTML document depend upon where the image/ document is imported from, so that taking images from a variety of locations will lead to them not showing up on the web page once it is upload onto the web.
