Bonjour! If you are ever interested in visiting France, than our website will guide you in all the best spots to visit. Sam, Sarah, Ji Eun and Emily have chosen to create a website for our English 104 class project. We met on Tuesday, April 5 and planned out our project and the rest of the duties we wanted between the each of us. We stay in contact through our campus email accounts.
For our multi-modal project, our group is making a website over France called Voyage de France (travel France). It will be an informational website for Paris and the other exciting places to visit including, Normandy, Nice, Bordeaux, Amboise, and the Loire Valley. Our website will also include a page on tips for travel and a page over the culture.
The work is broken up between the cities. Emily will be writing a page on Amboise and the Loire Valley and the tips for travel page. Ji Eun will be writing her page over Nice and the French cultures. Sarah will be writing her page over Normandy and Paris. Sam will be writing her page over Bordeaux and also will be the main creator of the website.
For our website, each of us found a book to help the development and content of the site. Sarah found a book about website design that is appealing to the consumer called Customer-Centered Design by Kreta Chandler and Kare Hyatt. Sam's book is for the website content, called French Music, Culture, and National Identity: 1870-1939 by Barbara Kelly. Lastly, Ji Eun found a book on popular culture called Handbook of Popular Culture by Pierre L. Horn. Emily has yet to find a book for the project.
Sam's book seems historical rather than geared to travelers. How do you plan to use that information in a Web site geared to travel? Is Ji Eun's book specifically about French popular culture? Did you look for anything about how to behave as a tourist in France (or how the French respond to tourists?).
ReplyDeleteAre you going to provide additional links to articles, videos, and other sites?
For the Paris and Normandy pages, I'm going to give the links to the sites I found the most frequently visited and updated.
ReplyDeleteI went in to the library to get the book I had previously put on hold but they did not have it. I did not have enough time to look for another book at that time and will be going to the library again to find one over making a website, which had been what the first book was about. Maybe we could use the book I found to write the page about culture. I am sure that adding a little bit of history into this travel site will make it more interesting and professional overall and also attract people to the places we hope that they would choose to visit.
ReplyDeleteThe book that I found is mainly about the cultures but it also contains about the economy and other facts about France. I found some good web pages that I can use for this project, and I'm still reading the web pages and some of the book chapters.
