You MUST integrate research from your FORMAL RESARCH GUIDES!

Plan your website!

• Determine who will DRAFT (outline/sketch) each page & who will PEER-EDIT (giving feedback) each page BY NEXT CLASS PERIOD!

• Review team discussion questions for each page. Be sure the person in charge of that page takes good notes in the brainstorm box below!

Class Agenda:

Words of Wisdom:

• DO NOT begin creating your website online this weekend! We will not begin this process until next week & specific directions will be provided.

• This brainstorming, sketching, editing & revising part is most important. Your website could look BEAUTIFUL but you could still FAIL this case deliverable if you don’t have quality information!

Homework:By next class!• Outline + Sketch of YOUR page (use computer

paper!)• Get it peer-edited by assigned teammate:

High-quality comments/feedback (in a diff. color pen!)

• Your bio-sketch (short paragraph)• Goal Planning sheet (only if you did not finish)

You have the whole weekend, but DO NOT wait until the last minute!

Be sure you write down/copy what you need from YOUR (& your group member’s) research guides. I’ll be collecting at the end of class!
