This is being replaced with designing a site for the Grimm's Fairy Tales. The Group Final Web Project is being revised to be the implementation of this design.
If you want to get a head-start by looking at the HTML files from which you will be drawing content for these Group Projects, just download this zip archive.
Your group project over the course of the term will be to design and create a website which turns MISS PARLOA'S NEW COOK BOOK into a website. The cookbook was published in the early 1900s, and I obtained it from Project Gutenberg. You can download a local copy of the HTML and accompanying graphics files in zip archive format for your group to work on.
YOU WILL NOT NEED TO CREATE ANY IMAGES, NOR WILL YOU NEED TO WRITE ANY TEXT.
This project is to design the site.
Your group will create a Site Design Document with page mock-ups using the WebMonkey Online Specifications. Note that there are 5 lessons on the site each one dealing with multiple sections of the document. Your group needs to create a document that explicitly deals with each and every lesson.
Developing and presenting this sort of document is not a trivial task, and this sort of work makes a lot of consulting firms a lot of money. Web-aware companies know having a good design document will save them money and heartache in actually getting a website up and running smoothly.
Organizing information for presentation on the Web is not the same as organizing information for presentation on paper. One of the points of giving you this material to work with is that the structure of the data is clear and already in place. It is pure HTML, and it has a table of contents and an organization for information chunks already in place. Your basic task is to communicate how this cookbook can most effectively be re-organized for Web navigation and presentation.
I will expect group leaders to post a series of progress notes to your group project Web page, at least one per week. These notes should detail the progress of your group towards meeting the requirements of the project that week, and what each and every member of your group is going to accomplish the following week.
In other words, group leaders are expected to post on the group webpage each and every week at least one note about what concrete and measurable objectives:
Due Wednesday of week 6, not later than 2400 hours (20 percent).
(That is 2400 hours, New York time, on the Planet Earth... the one in the Milky Way)
