Grading: What To Turn In

1. Based on your readings from the HTML tutorial (or from some other source), you should now be able to create a webpage of your own. Choose a topic and design your page. A good idea might be to design a page about a hobby of yours. Any subject will do. Just include at least one of EACH of the following HTML elements (and use them properly) in your webpage:

   1. Title
   2. Paragraph
   3. Link
   4. List

   At the start of your lab section, turn in your code (paper printout) from the webpage you design.

2. In order to create your webpage, you should have read through some of the web building tutorials above. Along with the HTML code for your webpage also turn in a list of which sources you learned from along with a short critique of each of those sources. (i.e. Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor, It explained y well but explained x poorly, etc.) Please give critiques for at least two sources. Sources other than those linked on this page are fine as well (though please do provide a url for outside sources).
