This is the project you will do with your first independent or partner book. After you have finished reading and discussing your book, do the following:
Research Step:
| Go on the Internet and explore home pages. Look for as many as you can find in the time allowed. One way to find home pages is to go to yahoo and type in "family home pages" in the search window. Another fun way is to type your last name in the search window of the search engine of your choice and look at the home pages of people who share your last name. |
| Make a list of elements that you find common to most home pages | |
| Make a list of elements, which you find that are unique to the person creating the home page. |
Analysis Step:
| Choose a character from your novel for whom you will develop a home page. | |
| Get to know your character well. What things might this person put on his/her home page? | |
| Make a list of the graphics and writing that you will put on your home page. |
| Create a storyboard for your character web site. |
Creating Step:
| Using Microsoft FrontPage, create your character’s home page. Your project should contain a minimum of 3 graphic elements and 5 written elements. | |
| Once you have created the home page, save it as a page on your web site with the name "character's Home Page". Link it to your home page and hyperlink your homepage to the first page of the character web site. |
Evaluation Step:
| Using the rubric supplied, and working with two partners, view and evaluate your character home page. |
| email me when you are ready for me to evaluate your project. Attach the evaluations completed by you and your partners. | |
| Your evaluation will be determined by your partner critiques and my evaluation using the same rubric. |
