Does your site include: 1) an annotated text (with date of composition or publication) of whatever primary work you've been considering (for most of you, a poem); 2) a revised analysis/interpretation of that work; 3) a revised essay on that work as representative of its author (with dates of the author's birth and death); 4) the text (lightly annotated) of another representative work by the author; 5) relevant links, each with a descriptive sentence or two? Did you revise your essays with your audience--your classmates in English 241--in mind? Have you put to basic use such features of Web technology as hyperlinks, targets (internal links), and images? Have you viewed your site, tested the links, and proofread it carefully? |
| The painting at top is The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry (1853?) by the British artist Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893) in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England. According to ArtMagick, "This painting shows Chaucer reading at the court of Edward III with his patron, the Black Prince, on his left. In the wings appear the 'fruits' of English poetry: Milton, Spenser and Shakespeare on the left; Byron, Pope and Burns on the right; Goldsmith and Thomson in the roundels; and the names of Campbell, Moore, Shelley, Keats, Chatterton, Kirke White, Coleridge and Wordsworth are written on the cartouches held by the standing children in the base." |
