brief description of those assignments and how they will impact your
total grade for the course.
Group Website 15%
By the end of the semester, your group will have completed a website on
the topic of your choice. You will work on the components all semester
and your Group Website grade will be based on your final product.
This part of your grade is based solely on the effectiveness of your
website.
Literacy Autobiography 15%
Your first major writing assignment will require you to create an online
literacy autobiography that details your personal journey through
literacy.
Website

The website proposal has two parts--topic proposal and design
proposal--and will serve as your plan for creating your group website.
Annotated Links 5%
You will create a list of sources--online and hardcopy--that you have
described that will be of interest to visitor of your website.
Introductory Essay 20%
The group introductory essay is the main component of your group website
and serves to introduce and cover the main aspects of your topic.

Each group member will write an essay that closely examines some aspect
of the larger group topic.
Presentation 5%
At the end of the semester, each group will give a presentation in which
they explain the rationale for their topic choice and site design.
Homework
15%
You will be expected to turn in reading responses to the assigned
homework. You will receive full credit for your homework as long as it
demonstrates that you read and have thought about the assigned
material. If it is clear that you just jotted down anything right
before class, then you will receive no credit for your homework. To
prevent you from doing your homework in class, all homework must be
typed. I will not accept lat homework for any reason.
