Storybook: Final Introduction

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Week 14 - If you are turning this in for Week 14, no late assignments are accepted: your Storybook assignment must be turned in no later than Monday, December 5, at noon. 

Week 15 - If you are turning this in for Week 15, your assignment must be turned in no later than Friday, December 9 at noon.

 

This assignment has two parts.

 

PART ONE: Final revisions to Introduction. If you have been doing revisions to your Introduction with each new story, you may not need to make any changes. If, however, you have not been working on the Introduction consistently all semester, you may have a lot of work to do now. Here are the important things you need to make sure you do this week:

  • Image. If you had not previously added an image to your Introduction page, please make sure that you add an image now, with image information
  • Story blurbs. Depending on your style of Introduction, you may want to include a blurb for each story. It might be a short, one-sentence blurb about the story, or perhaps a full paragraph. It all depends on your topic and the style you have chosen for your Introduction. If you do not want to include blurbs about the individual stories, you need to supply other kinds of background information that you think would help to prepare your readers to enjoy your stories.
  • Mission accomplished! Now that your Storybook is done, you should not have any speculative statements in your Introduction. So, if you had said things like "I might include a story about X" or "I will try to find a story about X," then you need to revise those statements. Instead of writing about what you plan to do, your Introduction should now be based on what you actually have done.
  • Length. The text of your Introduction needs to be between 600 and 1200 words in length (including any frametale material on the Introduction page). By the time you add in blurbs about all four stories and/or background information, you should not have any trouble meeting this length requirement. (word count tips).
  • Spellcheck. Make sure you spellcheck your revised Introduction (spellcheck tips).

 

PART TWO: Site navigation. Please click through ALL the links at your Storybook to make sure they are functioning properly, and fix any links that are broken. That includes the links in your Bibliography and Image Information items. You might find it useful to use this Site Checklist to make sure your Storybook website is in good shape.

 

When you have finished these revisions, notify the instructor by email. In the email, you MUST cut-and-paste the questions below, and confirm that the answer to all the questions is "yes" before you turn in the assignment. You do not have to put a "yes" next to each one; it's fine if you say "answer to all is yes," or something like that. Please give the email a subject line based on the class you are enrolled in ("MythFolklore Storybook Final Introduction"  - "Indian Epics Storybook Final Introduction").

 

The answer to each question must be YES in order to turn in the assignment:

Click to go to the list of Storybooks at the course website Myth-Folklore  or Indian Epics:

1. Is the link to your Coverpage at the course list working?

2. Does Coverpage navigation contain a link to your REVISED Introduction?
3. Did you spellcheck your revised Introduction before publishing it?
4. Did you proofread your revised Introduction by reading it out loud to yourself?
5. Does your revised Introduction include at least one image with complete image information?

6. Is your revised Introduction 600-1200 words long?  
Check on the other navigation links in your webpages (links to and from Coverpage to stories, and any links you have from story to story):
7. Are all the navigation links in your webpages working correctly?
