Website: Five-Theme State Project
- Construct a Website for your state with a page for each one of the five themes. You will have nine total pages; see the last bullet for an explanation. For your Weebly address, let’s do statename209.weebly.com. For the title of your Website it can be, for example: Connecticut – the Nutmeg State.
- In addition, you will have a “Home Page” that briefly explains who you are and what the site is about.
- Each page should be clearly labeled and titled, and provide the most important features that you have discovered about the state that you have chosen.
- Use your research worksheet as a starting point of what to include, but there is other information that you will want to include.
- If you need a refresher of how each theme is used, refer to your textbook or the notes that we took in class.
- You need to have at least two pictures in each theme section of Place, Movement and Human Environment Interaction. It is acceptable to have more pictures, just make sure the photos help tell the story of your state.
- Each photo must have a caption.
- Use at least one map for the theme of location; photos are optional on this page.
- The theme of Regions must have at least one map and one photograph.
- In addition to photographs, each page must have text. You should use paragraphs where you think it is appropriate, and bullets where you believe they work best.
- When you use text, I want to hear your voice coming through. Cutting and pasting from other Websites will be severely penalized (you will fail this portion of the project).
- You may use videos or audio files on your site.
- Have a page where you include the letter that you wrote in part 2 of the project.
- Have a page that lists the resources used on your Website.
- Lastly, have a blog. On your blog create a post that summarizes your Website and state – nothing too long, one to two paragraphs is plenty.
- To complete the project, everyone must go to another student’s blog, read it and the Website, and leave a comment in the form of a question on the blog. The owner of the blog then answers the question by commenting back.
- Nine pages: a home page, 5 for each of the themes, your letter, blog, and a resources used page.
