WEB PAGE - YOUR PET

For this assignment you will be creating a web page using Netscape Composer (a feature found in Netscape Communicator). The topic will be your pet or a pet that you are familiar with. All the writing portions of this assignment should be written in correct paragraph form, proofread and edited carefully (have a friend peer edit it). Each web page will be required to consist of the following components:

A picture of your pet, or of its breed, that will appear at the top of your web page (you will be shown how to scan your picture into a document).
A narrative. This should be at least a two-paragraph section that explains how you got your pet and tells an interesting story about him or her.
A paragraph that discusses your pet's heredity. We have completed a science unit that included the topic of heredity and how dominant and recessive genes impact organisms. In this section, tell about your pet's genetic background (what breed/breeds your pet is) and how that has influenced the physical appearance of your pet. This should be at least one paragraph in length. This is a good section to include a link.
A paragraph that tells about the historical background and/or geographic origins of the breed/breeds of your pet. This is a good section to include a link.
A minimum of two links to the World Wide Web. These must have a logical basis for being part of your web page.

This is a long term assignment, which will be completed, in the next four weeks. It is very ambitious and with everyone's cooperation it will be successful. You are expected to do all the written portions of this web page by yourself but we will all help each other in learning how to use Netscape Composer. You will be given time in Language Arts class, as well as time to use the computers in the Lab and in the classroom. You will also be expected to research your topic at home and to give this your best effort. When the project is completed, each student will use the LCD projector to present their web page to parents and friends.
