Web Quest (15%)

Midterm Assignment

Due Sunday, 1st Weekend or Mail Within 2 Weeks


Plan and develop a site that has a minimum of two pages which implements a lesson plan or class activity that could be used by you and/or your students. (Make one page for the students and one for the teacher.) You should include most of the basic HTML tags and techniques that were introduced during class the first weekend. Use appropriate graphics (borrowed is fine), color schemes, and design for your intended audience. Prepare a brief one page description of your site which includes the intended audience, goals, technical issues, types of graphics needed, sites you referenced and anything else you may want to include, such as a short narrative about the trials and tribulations and the successes associated with completing your own web page. (Hint: This information can be included as part of the teacher's page.) Print out the code and copies of the pages if possible. Be prepared to share your pages during the second weekend if time permits.


This can be related to your other midterm assignment (My Favorite Web), since you can evaluate a site that you use in your WebQuest.
