Super-power Autobiography

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to acquaint you with a fundamental principle of good website design, the separation of content and format, and to teach you the mechanics of writing valid Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Method

  1. Working with a partner, read through the pages of the Website Design subsite, paying special attention to the section on page mechanics.
  2. Practise creating simple webpages using a variety of different style sheets. Use the many resources available in the listing of external sites worth visiting and in the wider World Wide Web.
  3. As you practise, be sure to use the HTML validator and CSS validator provided by the WWW Consortium. Concentrate on writing valid HTML and CSS.
  4. When you are ready, work independently to write a fictious autobiography which explains your super-power, how it was obtained, and how you use it for good—or not!
  5. Judge your work against the marking scheme. When you think your work measures up, ask a classmate to mark your page.

Marks

Once your teacher has announced that your work has been marked, you can check your mark.
