Your Web Page will be due at the beginning of our last class on October 7, 2010.

LIB 10A Web Page Project Objective:

Create a simple informative web page on a topic of interest to you. This is a short research project and the web page you create on the class Wiki (hosted by PBworks.com) is the form you will use to display your research. This project will give you an opportunity to research a topic of interest and then create and publish a web page to share this information. You will present your web page to the class at the last meeting.

Grading Rubric for Web Page Project (word file)

Guidelines This assignment is worth 50 points. To earn full credit, your web page should include:

Create your Web page on the class wiki: http://lib10apcc.pbworks.com
Use your name as the name of your page. You can add an additional title on the page. Log into the Wiki, edit the sidebar, highlight your name, add a link to a new page with your name, begin to create your web page, remember to SAVE. Click edit to add or change information on your web page.
Your page must have a topic. You may choose a topic of interest to you, but your research must be apparent and relevant to your topic. Your topic can be of personal interest and opinions but it should not focus on personal information. Keep it simple! Discuss your topic ideas with the instructor.
Original Text (20 points): 3-5 paragraphs or 400 words of original text about your topic in your own words. You can include information from other sources that is properly credited to the source, but you must write your own research article. A specific topic or theme should be obvious with the article demonstrating your research of that topic. Be succinct and to the point. The goal is quality and not quantity; do not feel you must include things only to lengthen your writing. This is also an element of web page design. Consider the readability, layout and font of your text from the reader’s point of view.
Sources of information and Citations (15 points): Your web page must include active hyperlinks and MLA format citations for 3 websites or articles used in your research. These sources will all be found through web search tools such as: the library’s Article Databases, Search Engines, Directories and other web research tools. You must include hyperlinks and citations for 3 sources of information but you may also cite up to 3 additional sources. Use correct MLA citation format for each source. (library’s MLA guide: http://www.pasadena.edu/library/documents/mlaguide_revFall09.pdf)

One graphic element, clipart or an image related to the content and design of your web page. Consider the size of the image and the copyright issues we have discussed. A maximum of 3 images can be included on your webpage. It is always a good idea to give credit to the website where you found an image. Consider basic web page design elements include visual appeal and basic formatting to make your web page readable.
Class presentation (5 points): You will present your page to the class orally in a
3-5 minute introduction on the last day of class. KEEP IT SHORT and to the point. This will count toward your grade. Be prepared to present and discuss your web page in class on the last day. We can troubleshoot problems and admire your work together.
