One purpose of this class is find ways of learning more about world cultures and develop language skills. The final project will give you a chance to use all of the skills you have learned to do this.
Your html page will be about some aspect of world culture and will be combined with the other pages of students to form a class web site. You are free to choose topic, but you should discuss it with me first.
You will be required to write your formal academic paper according to the information given in class, and you will need to create a list of references).
| What kinds of Information should we include in the paper? |
Your homepage should answer the questions about the topic you choose. If you select a particular holiday, the information you would write would be similar to what you see below:
When is the holiday celebrated?
| What are the guidelines for writing the paper? |
Your page should have an introduction, body, and conclusion, and should follow the guidelines for formal academic writing discussed in class. Take a look at samples created by former students.
You should use your own words when writing the paper, and not just copy the words of others. The sample paper gives examples of how to quote from Web sites, e-mail messages, and mailing lists.

Select a topic you are interested in. Explore the Internet with search engines before you decide on a topic. This way you can see how much information is out there for you to work with.
Next, you should try to contact people about your topic through e-mail exchanges, discussion boards and mailing lists, and chat rooms.
