Web Page Design

Step Two:
Write a brief summary of the children’s story you created.
Sample: Story Overview
This story is about a young child who is unable to buy a gift for his mother’s birthday. As her birthday approaches, he tries to think of ways to come up with something to fix his problem. His problem gets worse as the others he talks to share their gift selections. It seems that nothing he is able to buy is quite good enough to express the way he feels about her. In the end he makes his mom something very special, a gift from his heart.

Step Three:
Using your reflection page, write a summary reflecting on your reactions to the sharing project.
Sample: Reflection
I think that all people have a responsibility to get involved with making their community better. If all people take part and become more interconnected with each other, they are more apt to have empathy for each other and be there for each other.

If I were to have this opportunity again I wouldn’t have done anything differently. It was great fun and very rewarding.

I think that both Sammy, the child I read to, and I learned a great deal from this project. I have no younger brothers and sisters and did not realize what it was like to work with a young child. I think I will be more patient and this may even help me to be good at babysitting.

Step 4:
Working with your two partners, open Microsoft Publisher by double-clicking on the Publisher Icon on the desktop. Choose a Web page layout and go through the Wizard instructions.

Working together, design an opening page, which gives an overview of your group. When you are setting up your design, be sure to open a “story” page for each person in your group. Once you have completed the opening page, take turns creating a personal page for each of you. Feel free to work together on this and help each other along. Save your file in the folder under your group name. Remember to save your work often.
