This project is intended to give the students practice in writing
as well a searching the Web. Let the students create a
Classroom Museum using definition lists.
The webbing directory contains a file which can be modified
for just such a museum.
The file can be found at:
- webbing/templates/reviews.htm
- Step 1
Over a period of a week or more,
have each student find a favorite website.
When they have chosen their museumpage site,
have them add a bookmark and
also have them write it down for reference.
It is a good idea to have a list of museums bookmarked for the
students and restrict their searches.
- Step 2
Create a new museum page by copying
- webbing/templates/reviews.htm
to
an appropriate place on your system. You may wish to make a copy for
each project group and have them work at expanding the
museum list over the entire year.
You may rename the file
in the process of moving it by using a
"Save as" dialog box from a text editor.
- Step 3
Add additional
list elements to the definition
lists as it becomes necessary simply by cutting and
pasting using a text editor and then replacing the
current names and anchors with anchor URL addresses
of your choice.
- Step 4
After an anchor/hyperlink is added,
have the student check the anchor by opening the
World-Wide Web browser and
clicking on the appropriate hyperlink.
- Step 5
Finally, have your students write a detailed review of the site.
If the students are proficient at typing, have them add the reviews
under the
tag at the appropriate place or have them type
the review on a file in their group folder. When the review is complete
and correct, move it to the approriate place on the reviewpage.
