Announcements

Tues 9 Feb

Over the weekend, you got started on describing the two pages: deciding on a description strategy, getting down to some close and controlled description.

Workshop: in class work on ProWebPresenceProject.
We'll share some descriptive material and research near the end of the session.

Thurs 11 Feb

No class. Continue ProWebPresenceProject. This might be the time to revisit the Cummins site.
For Thurs and the weekend: Some new vocabulary will help you start to make sense of the two sites. In a new page or under a heading on your main project page, make some notes on the Text-Context interaction for both the Cummins and Stallman site. Stoner, chap 4, pp 60 - 66. This means considering how each site meets or does not meet the implicit expectations or conforms or departs from the conventions of this kind of site. I'll look for your notes on text-context interaction on Saturday.
Notes on GenreCharacteristicsOfPersonalWebPresenceSites is started. You may refer to these and others for text-context notes
Deadline: descriptions and text-context interaction notes should be finished by end of day on Monday, 15 Feb.
For Tues, read Stoner, chap 9, for the search model we'll use for this project.
