Our assigment is called: A Personal Webpage of a Canadian High School Student
______________________________________________________________
Your Task: You will describe your experience by building and publishing a five page web site. Create a folder in your Internet & Web Pages folder (your lastname) to contain your Web site as you develop it.

First Page:
You will have a Home Page (title) with filename index.htm which introduces yourself and explains the purpose of the site. To understand your view of the world people need to know something about you. How old you are, what languages you speak, what your interests are. They need to know a little about your environment, what is Brampton like, how do you travel and where. They need to know where you are in your schooling and what your goals may be. All this seems normal to you, but it can be fascinating to someone from a distant country. Your life is interesting; part of your job is to convey that interest to your reader.

Second Page:
Your second page describes your School Life (title) with filename school.htm. Things to consider are: − What subjects do you study & why? − What are your Post Secondary and Career interests? − What is your homework like? How long does it take? − What are your tests & exams like? Hard/easy, how important? − What is your social life like at school? How do students groups interact? − Are there clubs or sports teams that you are involved with?

Third Page:
Your third page describes your Home & Social life (title) with filename home.htm. Things to consider are: − Do you live in the country or in town? Describe it. − How many brothers and sisters do you have? − How are family tasks shared? − What happens during holidays? − When do you do your homework? − What do you like to do with your free time? − What hobbies and activities do you have? − Do you work part time? If so, what do you do? How does this impact on your school work?

Fourth Page: (blog)
Your fourth page will be updated on a weekly basis. It will be a personal Journal or a Blog. This blog can be about anything you like but should be mostly school related and appropriate. You will be expected to keep this page maintained as you go through this semester. Remember: A journal always has the date it was posted. Things to write about in your blog: Personal events you may want to share with the class What's happening in you classes? What are you learning? How are you post-secondary plans going? How is your sports/club going?

Fifth Page: (links)
Your page will contain some external links for a person to investigate further if the want more information. You should include a brief synopsis (summary) of what the link is about so the person knows what they are linking to. Make sure the link opens in a new page Things you may want to link to : • The Fletchers Meadow Website • Ministry of Education website • Mr. Harrison's website • A site about study tips • A site about how to be successful as a student • Study tips • Career exploration • Co-op exploration • Post-Secondary School Information
Components Your Site Must Have:
Your project will be partially judged on how interesting the page content is. But in addition, you must show that you understand basic web site construction by including the following elements in it: − Write and insert an effective title for your home page in Photoshop. - Have a custom background - Have at least on rollover button − Structure text effectively on your page using tables − Import at least one customized image per page to support your story line. − Control your text and image placement in relation to objects using tables − Link your pages together so that the reader can easily travel back and fourth between them.
