Goals: To enable you to understand the benefits and shortcomings of using the WWW (especially in your future classroom), to give you technical skills for using the WWW, and to allow you to share your teaching ideas with others on the WWW.

Task: You and your partners will construct a home page with at least two other pages linked to it. These pages should somehow relate to the teaching or learning of composition, rhetoric, literature, creative writing, linguistics, technical writing, or speech. Consider the types of information that would be useful to a particular audience or hierarchy of audiences. We will place your pages on the WWW for at least at least three months. 

Also, write a two-page reflection on this experience, noting the work you yourself did for the group, the strengths and weaknesses of publishing on the WWW, and any other thoughts or feelings you have about the project. You will hand in this paper at the end of the project and discuss it with the class.

Evaluation: Your pages should be "contentful"--have substance and be worth reading. They should also "look good"--be user-friendly, professional in appearance, readable, and visually appealing. You and your partners will receive the same grade unless you make a compelling case for doing differently.
