Now that you've chosen the topic of your web project, I just want to give you an overview of what the end product is going to look like.
By December 6, both groups (Translation Group 2 and CCC Group 3) will have created their web sites.
Your web sites are supposed to have:
1. an introductory page of your site should introduce the theme of your project, your self-presentation (with digital photos and a recorded greeting), a mechanism for contacting you (email and links to your blogs) and a site map (table of contents);
2. your own interpretation of the topic and your own analysis of literary works;
3. relevant socio-cultural information and the author's biography (your interpretation + links);
4. presentation of Web sites relating to your topic (do provide a list of at least 10 useful sites with a few words of description);
5. literary works (as links);
6. images (be sure to provide an image source!).
You can have a look at the web sites that were created by my students last year http://american-literature-projects.blogspot.com/2007/05/group-web-sites-are-all-set.html
If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask them here or after class on Thursdays (Room 320 at 2.10 pm).
CCC Group 3: Your task consists in keeping a group e-portfolio (your group blog) where you will be collecting ideas, materials, links and images for your future web site.
Please note that each team member is expected to post an entry about his/her contribution to the project (first impressions, reports on the charachters, links, images) on a weekly basis. Your posts will be considered as part of your grade.

Ok, I've got a question here. Is it possible to edit the posts, to add some information to them?
It’s quite easy to edit your posts. When you log in, you get to the dashboard. Click on “ Manage Posts”. There will be a grid with all your previous posts. Each entry is preceded with “Edit” and “View” options in blue. You’ll be automatically redirected to the editing mode. Hope that helps.
Anna Vladimirovna, we have chosen Zora Neale Hurston "Their Eyes Were Watching God",because it seems very interesting in terms of culture. But we have some problems with the text. I've found one audio version on CD,it's no problembut I thought a book would be better. Could you please give a piece of advice in what sources it's possible to find it?
Dear Zora Neale Hurston group,
I have asked my American friends to look for the electronic text in the literary databases. Meanwhile, I have found a printed version in the Norton Anthology of AmLit that I can give to you to make copies. The only thing is that it has parts 2 & 3. The 2nd part starts with "Janie saw her life like a great tree..". But I am sure you can locate the book at the library.
Dear Anna Vladimirovna,
Thank you very much for your help. I've talked to Elela Ivanovna and found out she has the book and she'll lend it to me on Monday, which is very kind of her. I think we can copy that variant, or, if something goes wrong, we'll be happy to know we have your book as a back-up and we'll let you know. Thank you a lot, again.
Regards,
Catherine (Zora Hurston group).
Dear Anna Vladimirovna,
we have already created our blog at http://arina-natasha-project.blogspot.com/. We have chosen the topic "Destroyed but not defeated", which will cover the theme and the levels of meaning in "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Miller Hemingway.
Best regards,
Arina and Natasha (CCC group 3)
