of information web sites last
updated: 02/13/02
Following is an annotated list of
web sites that we might call "informational sites." Their inclusion here
is for our discussion and critique in order that we may continue to refine our definition
of the "genre." Inclusion in the list in no way implies an endorsement of the
site as a model for all the evaluative criteria we are using. In fact, you may learn from
examining these sites that there are many features that you can improve upon, including
the amount and quality of the content.
This list is the responsibility of all class members.
Email any URLs and annotations that you would like to have included for discussion.
