The 20th Century

1950-1999

You and your partner are to research one decade from the 20th Century. You are to cover the four topics listed below:

          You and your partner will be responsible for researching and completing a web page on the decade that you have chosen.  The two of you will be required to do comparable work (meaning the same amount).  You will open the template in Dreamweaver and add the content to each page of the web site. You will have 6 pages to complete:

    1. Index
    2. History
    3. Polictics
    4. Economics
    5. Culture
    6. Bibliography

          The first day will be spent researching your topic from the Internet.  The rest of the week you will do more research on the Internet as well as putting together your Web Page. The two partners will use the same web folder to save the work in.    

Other Suggestions/Hints:

v     There will be no written paper turned in – you will be graded only on the information in your Web Page and how well it is covered.

v     All of the information in your web page must be in your own words; do not copy straight from Internet sources – put everything in your own words!

v     Going above and beyond – more pictures, more information, etc. could get you a better grade.
