Inspiration 8/9: City Research Project 2014

City Exploration Research Graphic Diagram.

City Web Map CITY LIST by Student


Over the next two days you will create a web for a city in the United States. Click on the picture to the right to see my example.  You will be assigned a city today.  You  will be responsible for creating an identical web to the one described.  Please include the following data:

City Facts:  Year Founded, Longitude, Latitude, Population, Area, Time Zone, and Mayor's Name.
Also include major industries, professional sports teams, colleges, historical places, museums, and weather information.  Each place you list will need to have a link to the website that corresponds to it.  HYPERLINK can be found in the TOOL Heading of the Toolbar.  Weather can link to any local news station, but other links must be the official sites for those places, not some other site or advertisement.  You can use all of my formatting, or create your own diagrams.  You must include the same headings and topics.  You must also use different colors for each section.  You must also include a box at the bottom of the page with a list of all the resources you used to find your information.  This is not an official bibliography, but it must be accurate when checked by me.

YOU MUST SAVE YOUR DOCUMENT AS A JPEG (File, EXPORT, Graphics, JPEG, Save As), and UPLOAD it to your GOOGLE DRIVE.  You must Click SHAREABLE LINK and COPY/PASTE that Link to the Google+ Community Page for credit.  If you have any questions, just ask or email me a question.  This project is worth 300 points toward your Marking Period grade.  


Good Luck!!  Mr. S
