Take a look at this [|2005 sample].

Poetry Website
You are going to make a website with the final version of all eight of your poems. It’s easy and fun.

We’re aiming for perfection – no grammar, spelling or technical errors at all. This is to be published for the world to see, and (hard as it is to believe), they will be seeing it all around the world. You will be graded in part on how “perfect” your pages are.

Before you start, polish your poems to perfection. Make them vivid and tight. No wasted or weak words. Pure poetry. That’s important. You represent yourself, your family, your school, your grade and your country. Be powerful.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open ClarisHomePage from the START menu of a PC. 2. Paste your poem on it **without your name or label** – just title, space, poem 3. Pick a background color; apply it 4. SAVE on the L drive under WAIDYATILLEKA, English 7, 2009, with your initials and a simple poem title (i.e., Sam’s poem might be smnight, Fish’s might be fppets). Keep it simple. 5. Add a link back to your homepage (Ikaika’s homepage would be iphome.htm) 6. Add a link back to our class homepage (home.htm) 7. SAVE again

I’m making our class homepage; you make your own homepage and save it with your initials plus “home.”
