Website collecting

During a regular week you are free to choose what type of review you are going to write. There are two exceptions. The last week you must turn in your book review and this being the first week I'd like you to review a website.

If we spend a lot of hands’ on time this week writing your first review it should make writing your other reviews easier.

To get started you need to find five to ten websites you use, or would use if you were on the web a lot. For each website you need to be able to write a couple of sentences describing what the site is. This is called annotating, and it’s so that you can check back later and refresh your memory about what something is.

You can do this either in Google docs, Google notebook, or Word. I would recommend using a combination of all three. Use Google notebook to gather your information, links or anything else you may need from the actual site. Cut and paste this into Word, then organize your ideas into a list of both descriptions and links, then run the grammar and spell check. Once you've done this upload or cut and paste it to your Google docs. Save this copy in your Google docs, making sure to use a name you'll recognize if you need to find it again.

Once you have completed this you should upload the annotated list to your blog as a post. The post should be titled “websites I use.” See my post “Websites I Use” for an example.

Once you’ve posted your blog email your final copy as an attachment. Anything not handed end by the end of class will be considered late. mrmaiorca.trhs@gmail.com

Keep in mind that this is a graded assignment and all the basic conventions of grammar will be applied when I grade them so please use the editors thoroughly. Also remember that the web is a very public place and you shouldn’t post anything that you wouldn’t want you parents or grandparents to read.
