Transforming the Streets Through the Arts

By Taylor du Pont

For your Midterm (Story Package 1), write a text main bar that is at least 600 words long... no longer than 800 words and do one "in-their-own-words" audio slideshow (two minutes long, absolutely no narration and must have captions).

The audio slideshow should not duplicate the content in the text bar. Both must relate to your beat and located within our section of the map.

DO NOT MISS DEADLINE.

Put your elements/packages onto this template. Rename the title, headline, byline, etc. of this HTML document. And rename this HTML file as midterm-first initial last name.html EXAMPLE: midterm-rhernandez.html

Upload this to your directory on the offthefreeway.com server and paste the URL to comments section of the class' Wordpress post about the midterm.

Your URL will be like this, but with your username: http://offthefreeway.com/2016/sections/21113/rhernandez/midterm-rhernandez.html

I will be grading the overall story, the quality of the packages, the quality of the individual elements inside packages (photos, audio, editing, captions, etc.) and how everything works together. Again, the audio slideshow should not duplicate the content in the text bar.

Of course I will be also checking spelling, grammar, AP Style and general HTML code. Do not let these little mistakes kill your grade. Read the syllabus for details. TIP: Run your text through http://www.polishmywriting.com before you convert it into code.

NOTE: How do you embed a soundeslide? Go to this URL: http://bit.ly/ss_embed and paste in the URL of your uploaded audio slideshow. Resize the audio slideshow to 500x430 ... you'll see that option after you click on "continue" ... it's at the bottom. After it resizes, copy-and-paste the embed code into this HTML template.

NOTE: How do you get this HTML template/file? Do a right mouse button click on this link and 'Download' or 'Save Link' as.

OPTIONAL: You are encouraged, but not required to add more content, like a 'webby' element. Seriously, you will not be graded down... but graded up. :)

The rest is junk text to pretend to be the length of an article. Nullam non nisl arcu. Phasellus sollicitudin rutrum leo, eget consequat quam tincidunt et.
