LITERARY ANALYSIS WEB PAGE - PROJECT DESCRIPTION You are required to develop a web page with your group about the book you read. Each of you has written a Literary Analysis Paper. When your papers are completed, you will upload them to a group web page. You should come to consensus with your group in designing the page and begin working on this project as soon as your papers are ready so that you have it completed by the deadline. Your web page should be carefully prepared (see the assessment criteria for more information). You do not need to learn HTML in order to develop the web page. The computers in the labs on campus have Myrmidon, a program which converts your word processor document to HTML Also available are Claris Home Page, PageMill, and Navigator Communicator which are programs that allow you to develop a web page using your converted documents and images that you select to carry out your theme. Our class on Feb. 17 will be a workshop on using Myrmidon and Claris Home Page. The SSU computer labs have assistants who can help you upload to the MAMS 220 Home page. I will also be available in my office during office hours to help you. Make an appointment and come see me if you're having problems or e-mail me your questions at any time. e-mail: [email protected] The Literary Analysis Web Page Project is due on the web by May 19 for both Sections A & B. Your group assessment rating and individual ratings for each of your group members for the Web Page is due on May 19. These assessments count as part of your grade for the project, so don't forget!

As a group you will develop a web page to publish each of your Literary Analysis Papers to create a collaborative report. With your group, brainstorm how you want your web page to look. Remember that you have more flexibility in designing a web page than you do working on paper. You can include images, etc. choose background and text colors, and make links to your individual papers and to other sources on the Internet. Your first page, which has already been created for your group, should be a title page with the name of the book, summary of the web page contents, i.e. who the group members are and title of their paper. It should also have links to each individual's page. You, your group members, and I will evaluate the group's web page and your participation in creating the web page. Your individual grade will be an average of group rating and individual rating. Make a copy of the charts below to do your ratings. Web page is due on-line by May 19 for both sections and evaluations are due in class on May 14. To top of page To group assessment
