Assignment:
Your task is to transform (remediate) your memoir OR subculture essay into an interactive website format—i.e. pages that use hyperlinks, video, audio, graphics, and text. Be creative and have fun.
Note that you are not simply placing your essay on a webpage. You are creating a website (series of multimedia pages) that has the same purpose as your essay did. Additionally, this is not just a case of cutting and pasting, or pulling the first visual/video/audio elements you encounter.
Just as you did with the ideas, words, paragraphs, sources, subtopics, focus, etc. of your essays, you want to be deliberate in what you include on your site (why this instead of that?) and how you include it (the way you put these elements together, and the way that the pages work together).
Genre Conventions & Tips:
• Visual Interest
• Consistency
• Simplicity
• Emphasis
• Ease of Use/Navigation
• Mix of written text and graphics
Requirements:
• Use of topic from either memoir or profile
• A website theme/layout
• At least 3 separate pages including a home/intro page
• An “About” page or section on homepage (about you personally or professionally, why you became interested in the topic, the purpose of the site, etc)
• A few links to outside sources and other media (video, images, etc)
Programs/Other Resources:
You will use Weebly or Wix—both are free for website creation that are easy to learn and flexible. They allow you to drag and drop a range of elements, start with templates but customize almost all aspects of them, and even choose your URL name. You should be customizing a template—do not simply use everything that is the default.
Grading Rubric:
Your essay will be graded on the following qualities—their specifics dictated by the genre and topic:
• Focus & Thesis
• Content & Development
• Organization
• Grammar & Style
• Media & Design
• Research & Citation
{This is just a basic overview. Instructor does not have to use this assignment sheet. Other Information or Resources May be Added by the Instructor, or elements may be made more specific, like the rubric elements, for example.}
Other Ideas for Instructor:
• You may choose to use a new/different topic related to identity. If you choose this option, you must get it approved by instructor.
• Could use WordPress and make site more of a blog
