Your task is to complete an educational, interactive website which instructs the
reader on a current issue related to media literacy.  You will need to determine as a group
which subtopic you will focus upon given the research that you have each already
conducted.  Your website must include the following required components:

                            1.   Active voice
                            2.   An opening or introduction page which establishes the issue.
                            3.   Thesis statement (Can be included on the opening page)
                            4.   Support (with a minimum of three reasons) - Include on secondary pages.
                            5.   Conclusion page with a call to action
                            6.   In-text documentation - Parenthetical citations
                            7.   Works Cited Page

In addition, your web site must also incorporate the following features or capabilities:

                        1.  At least one illustrative or decorative graphic which directly relates to your topic
                        or specific point within a sub topic.
                        2.  One to five “outside” links to relevant web sites  (One link must be included in your
                        “Call to Action”.)
                        3.  Navigation links through your pages – all pages must link to the index page.
                        4.  Author(s) of the site  (a pseudonym may be used with teacher approval)
                        5.  Creation and/or update dates on each page.
                        6.  A functioning feedback link (e-mail link to author(s) or webmaster
                        7.  Correct grammar and spelling
                        8.  Links to works cited which are found on the Internet

The point of the web site is to communicate the substance of your research paper without
posting the paper.  You may utilize portions of your paper, but you should not include
the entire contents of your paper – just the essential information and arguments.
These need to be presented in a visually appealing manner.  Your use of space, text, and
graphics will be as essential to a good grade as the content of your words.
