WFW: Writing for Webheads
Assignments
ASSIGNMENT One - Join
the eclass and send an introduction:
If you don't want to send a picture of yourself, you could send me any
kind of graphic that you think represents you. Or you could identify a graphic
on the Internet, and I can find it and copy it to your page. (You can start
with a graphic on the Internet and add your own picture later.)
ASSIGNMENT Two - Participate in our live online
Sunday chat class or the email Eclass:
Students, don't worry if because of your time-zone or Internet
connection you can't do all of these things. Do what you can and do what you
have time for.
ASSIGNMENT Three - Improve your webheads
webpage:
- Improve the introduction for your web page
- Send something creative to add to your web page. Here are some
suggestions. Click on the students' names to see
what other Webheads have done with these assignments.
Whenever you write something for your Webheads web page, a teacher will
correct the grammar and put it on your page. You can compare what you wrote
with the corrected piece to see where your mistakes are.
If you want to see a good model web page ...
- look at Ying-Lan's
or Choi's.
- Bahia
has started to dress up his web page by sending in his picture. He's
also started his own website at http://www.dstech.com.br/felix/,
linked to his Webheads site. See below for addresses of other student web
sites.
- Gosia has written a
good introduction and sent lots photos.
ASSIGNMENT Four - Start
your own web site
Ying Lan,
Bahia,
Jose,
Deden,
Denilson, and
Bubu
have started the next step, and that is for YOU to start YOUR OWN web site.
To start your own web site, visit http://www.geocities.com or
http://www.tripod.com.(These are two I
like, but there are other free web hosts you can use;
here's a
list). Click here for
illustrated instructions on getting an account with Geocities, and how to
upload your web pages to it (but this is a bit out of date).
Making your own web page: I used to use Microsoft Word 97
for this one and save my documents as HTML <Click here if you want to learn how to do
this.> (this is still a good first web page editor, Word 2000 is not
recommended) If you have Office 2000 Premium, you can use Front Page. Now I
use Hot Metal Pro from http://www.softquad.com/
For graphics manipulation I use Thumbs Plus, examination copy available
from http://www.cerious.com/
If you want online help, join us any Sunday at noon GMT in live chat and
we can give you instructions while chatting. See a chat log where students find
out how easy it is to start their own web sites: Pchat27d.htm
In the end, what you do in this class is up to
you. You don't have to do
anything if you don't want to. Learning English is like growing food or
raising children. You get from it what you put into it.
In Writing for Webheads, teachers and classmates are available to help
you "grow" your English language skills. We are all making new friends and
increasing our skills as well. To us it is worth the time, and we welcome you
to join us.
