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.

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.
