As practice for developing inquiry-based activities on the web, you will locate and organize existing web sites on a specific topic. The end result will be a web document that would engage your students in pursuit of information for one or two class periods.This can be a group or solo project.
Your Hotlist will take up a single web page, and should contain links to at least five web sites.
The hotlist should also include a task for your students to accomplish. An example of a simple task might be a puzzle, as can be seen in the Egypt Scavenger Hunt, or a treasure hunt, like the one developed about Black History by Tom March. A slightly more complex task would be to have students making comparisons across sites, as in an exercise to compare school web sites.
You can download the source HTML from any of the example files listed above and use it as a template for your own hotlist.
This assignment is due on April 10. It counts for 20% of your final grade. This can done as a solo or group project, and it need not be interdisciplinary. You can e-mail your file to me on or before that date, or drop it off at my office.
