Untold Voices Website Requirements

• If your transcript is not done then for gosh sake do THAT!
• If your transcript has been shared then here is your task list for the PROJECT

2. Your photos will be graded at the END OF NEXT CLASS (Weds/Thurs)
3. You must SHARE the album with John and Trevor in order to get credit
4. You need a minimum of 50 photos in your album unless TREVOR tells John otherwise
2. Create your Untold Voice website @: https://sites.google.com/a/envisionacademy.org and share it with John & Trevor
1. NAME YOUR SITE EXACTLY THIS WAY: Untold Voices: An Oral History of Firstname Lastnameofyoursubject
1. If you are part of a group you must add an extra character to the URL (NOT to the website name)
2. Your site must contain the following [at a minimum]
1. An introduction of no less than 250 words 
• [1-2 pages  &  1+ photo(s) per page]
2. A placeholder for the Preface
• To Be Supplied by Trevor

• [1 page maximum & 1+ photo(s)]
5. A reflection on the process to be assigned by Trevor & John 
• [1 page minimum]
6. A unique color scheme that is simple and tasteful - it must NOT use THEMES or TEMPLATES (you MUST do it all yourself) and it must not distract from the text or photos
7. A Photoshopped LOGO - DO THIS SECOND TO LAST
8. Full "Book Like" navigation, as you were taught through the exemplar- DO THIS LAST

• Meeting all the requirements in step TWO will get you a "B" in Digital Literacy IF:
• Your use your best effort
• The pages have ZERO typographical errors
• You turn the entire site in by Friday, January 27th, 2012
• [to meet this deadline you must complete an average of 1 1/2 pages per class plus do the  Photoshop and design work]

• To get an "A"you must do some combination of the following:
• John will demonstrate fonts, colors, advanced layouts and Photoshop NEXT class
• Use photoshop for more than just the logo - you may get IDEAS from the templates but you cannot use the templates themselves.
• Use an advanced layout that goes beyond the 'single box' of the blank template
• Create additional pages detailing something beyond your transcription
•  Resources appropriate to your subject's story [i.e. resources for gay teens would work for our example story]
• More background on your subject or their story [i.e. historical information, maps, and other explanatory material)
