Homework One

EXPLORING THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Your assignment is to explore the Internet in more detail and discuss your findings on a homework page that you will have constructed in class.

1. Go to Netscape and choose a search engine (Lycos, Alta Vista, Yahoo, etc.)
2. Choose five web sites that interest you.
3. Write a paragraph about each of your choices. Be sure to include the global link to that site. In your paragraph be sure to include the following:

*Why you chose the site.
*What do you like or dislike about the site.
*Keeping the class discussion in mind (words vs. things), analyze how well the site uses images and text. Are the two equally balanced, or is one side favored over the other? Explain briefly.

4. Your finished product should include five paragraphs. You should also be sure that the global links work.
5. Put your name on the assignment.
