[CODE]Please take your time and select a good topic that most interests you. The first step in creating this web site is determining the general information, purpose, and structure of the site. Therefore, your final project in this course includes selecting a topic and then thoroughly researching that topic.
If you need a refresher on searching for information on the web, please refer back to the Lesson 1.06's Lesson tab.
As you research, remember to record bibliographical information from each source (full name of site, full URL, and brief description of the site.)
Create a Storyboard
You will create a storyboard of the site you plan to create. The Task section of this lesson will provide more detailed information on what this storyboard must include.
Before you start on your storyboard, make sure you have completed the following:
Pick a topic. This topic is your choice, but it must be one that is appropriate for school and you must be able to find appropriate online resources for visitors to your project website to use.
Research your topic on the Internet to find valuable (and reliable) web sites to use as resources in the virtual field trip.
Once you have completed these, go to the Task tab of this assignment to complete your storyboard.
