Week 2 Assignments
A bit of creative writing
A5 - Top Ten Websites
In Microsoft Word, make a list of 10 of your favorite websites (we'll add hyperlinks in the next class). Next to each listing, describe the reason you think this site is interesting. Make each site link "clickable," in other words, make a visitor to your site want to click through to see what the interesting site is about. Side note: don't use sites like Google, amazon -- find some interesting sites that a normal visitor might not even know about. If you can't think of any, think of something you enjoy doing, reading about etc. and search for some interesting sites. You never know what you'll find. Have fun!

A6 - News Summary of the Class
Write a news summary of your experience in the class through Weeks 1 and 2. Remember to include answers to the questions Who? What? Where? When? 
Why? and How? Remember your audience. Also come up with a good, interesting, eye-catching headline for your story. You can construct this using any program (e.g., Illustrator, Publisher) to make it look like a news paper article.

A7 - Quick-Write assignment #1
How will you make yourself interesting for the web? What unique "take" do you have that might be interesting to someone else? It doesn't have to be some big "WOW" thing. Here's the complete handout if you lost/didn't get one. Ask me any questions you might have. You might want to hand-write the assignment or you can type it up. [If you type it up, you'll have to scan it as a pdf to upload it.] There are more instructions on the handout.
