WEB PAGE WORKSHOP

Biodiversity: Animals in Danger

Instructions

1. Choose an animal in danger. You can find information about endangered species on the Internet: write "animals in danger" (in inverted commas) in Google and visit some webpages.

2. Find information about the animal. Copy the address of the webpages where you find the information
(example: http://www.sierradebaza.org/Fichas_fauna/07_06_nutria/nutria.htm).

The information that you need to find is in Appendix A.

3. Translate or adapt the information to make it easy to read for your classmates and for other first year students from other countries on the Internet. Don't copy long, difficult sentences. Write short, clear sentences with simple words.

4. Write a glossary with the most difficult or technical words in English and Spanish.

5. Design your webpage (see detailed instructions in Appendix B).

6. Choose some photos from the Internet and add them to your webpage to illustrate it (copy the address of the photos that you find).

This is the code for a photo: <img src="otter.jpg">

If it is a small photo, you can write text next to it with this code:
<img src="otter.jpg" align="right" hspace="40" vspace="10">
(you can change "right" to "left" to change the position of the photo; you can change the number after the "hspace" and "vspace" codes to leave more space around the photo).

7. Include all the addresses of the websites where the information and the pictures come from. Use this code to make a link:

<a href="http://www.site.org"> http://www.site.org </a>
