Exploring Ancient World Cultures URL: http://eawc.evansville.edu/index.htm Comments: i. This site gives a lot of valuable information that is easily accessible to students. It is an easy to navigate site, that is geared to the proper age group. This is very important because if it was geared at a group that was either too you or old, then they would quickly loose interest in the site and the information it holds. ii. The only limitations that this website may hold is that it may not be visually attractive enough. When working with websites, it is always easier to be interested in a site that is attractive. iii. This website could be used in the classroom to let students explore the information available on their own time. This is a good website to do so because it has limited advertisements, and distractions. You could also give students a sheet full of questions that they need to answer with information given on the web page.

Comments: 1. This is a good site for beginning exploration of ancient world cultures. It is not to busy and very easy to read. It provides links to more information in case one does not understand something. ME

Writing URL: @http://its.leesummit.k12.mo.us/writing.htm Comments: i. This site gives many different tools about writing and how to write different things. This site supports the important things that English and composition teachers stress every day. ii. The site is rather busy, and confusing. If you weren't sure exactly how to use the site you may have a hard time finding what you are looking for. This could be fixed by simplifying the site, and making it more attractive in its presentation. The website is also rather hard to navigate, and can get confusing when you ae looking for something specific. iii. This website could be used in a classroom to give students information about things such as how to write a thesis, how to use MLA formatting, and all different guidelines that are important to live by. This would be a good site to use when students are revising a paper they have already written. Thy can look at the comments that i used on their paper, and correct them by using advice from the website.

Comments: 1. I think this is an awesome site for students needing help with writing. It's not too busy and well organized, however, there may be too many links that link to other sites. CA
