Read the 3-students-whose-names-come-after-you-on-the-web-portal's Project 2s. If someone doesn't have their project done, skip ahead to the next person on the list. Do the following: Summarize what you learned about what makes an effective text in what situations and why. Refer specifically (cite them!) to the projects you looked at. Then, quickly explore every student's Project 2 (no need to read in depth, just poke around). Describe which web text is your favorite and why.
On Austin Robertson's page he analyzes what makes an effective wiki for certain games, including Minecraft, World of Warcraft, EVE Online, Star Fox, and Myst. To sum up his analysis, what makes a good game wiki is for the page to be easily navigable, in relatively the same format as other wikis, and to provide information both for newcomers and people who know the game and it's lingo very well.
For Kelsey Rock's page, I found there to be no definite answer to what makes the text for grilling pizza successful, but from her analysis I can conclude some things. For one, the page must be well organize from left to right, addressing the supposed audience of whoever wants to learn how to grill pizza. Secondly, the information itself must be clear and concise for ease of education.
On Adam Ward's page, he clearly defines what makes an effective text on how to build an acoustic guitar. He insists that the page/video must be specific and clear in instruction, have lots of visuals, and include as many resources as possible to make the process as smooth and clear as possible.
My two favorite pages out of all of them are Cassie April's and Lauren Chavez's website. Their sites are not only clean, appealing, and navigable, but also address every element thoroughly and have a conclusion, or wrap up for the analysis.
Let's just say, after reading all these pages I feel like mine failed big time in addressing certain elements. Even though I feel like I could have done more, I didn't, and I'm tired of having so much work this week. Good job everyone.
