None, but know that you'll only have 20 minutes in class to work with your site organization.

  1. Start or continue Module 4 - Organizing. Read the designated chapter in the Yale University Web Style Guide, 2nd Ed. Remember, you only need to read the first two sections (and their subsections): Organization and Site Structure. Be sure to answer the questions on a separate Word document.
  2. Group with two different people than you worked with during the color scheme assignment. Work with the index cards to develop a site organized by the parameters outlined in the assignment. You'll turn in a Word document with your proposed organization and question responses.
  3. This is due at the beginning of the period on Thursday. Afterward, we will take a test over Unit 1. It will consist of 15 questions!
  4. Plan for a test over Unit 1. This will be pretty straightforward. I'll give you a few minutes to get ready. You'll want to re-read some of the main topics we've done so far in class.
  5. Begin working through Unit 2 - Coding in XHTML. Site planning and folder structure.
