For this assignment, you are required to research and analyze four companies’ or organizations’ websites. You will complete the Web site analysis worksheet for each site.
For each of the four websites, use the worksheet to keep track of each item listed in the table. Make notes and write a short creative brief – 200 words minimum (per web site analysis) – that summarizes what each site is about, what social media channels feed into the site, and how effective the site is in communicating the organization’s brand or message to its intended audience. Discuss what you think works and does not work in each of your narratives.
Analyzing sites is like looking at a beautiful tapestry and then turning it over to examine the stitching. Be prepared to really examine each organization’s stitching in their “website tapestry.” Good luck with this assignment.
Website Analysis
Students will analyze Web sites according to elements of design and usability. Students will consider the following in their 200 word narrations.
The audience for the site. Discuss two tasks that a user is likely to complete.
The usability of the navigation.
The effectiveness of the focal point.
The visual interest of the overall page (typography, color, amount of text/images, etc.).
The appropriateness and accuracy/readability of the text.
The appropriateness of the site to the business. (Is it possible to visit the business?)
How responsive is the site?
Suggestions to improve the site. 3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH SITE ARE REQUIRED.
Grammar, style, and punctuation all count. Headings are strongly encouraged. The assignment should be written in prose style, may use visual presentation tools such as PowerPoint or Keynote, will be presented in class, and submitted in Canvas.
The objectives of the assignment are for students to:
demonstrate your critical awareness of web compositions by drawing on ideas we have discussed in class
provide new insights on effective Web site design
How to Analyze a Website
Even companies that do not engage in e-commerce benefit from an effective website since customers often find businesses through Internet searching. Companies may perform a website analysis for numerous reasons. For instance, they may want to know how well their website functions or they may need to examine what competitors do with Web pages. An analysis can even help determine the layout of the site before one is created. A good website analysis explains how well the site supports the company’s goals.
1 Identify the company goals and how they relate to the Web presence. Including this information early in the report helps the executives or stockholders reading the report understand the purpose of the website. For instance, should the site inform customers about the company’s services, persuade them to have a certain attitude about products or ideas, or actually allow direct sales? Write these goals in order of importance in the report.
2 Explain your methodology. If you examined competitors’ sites, discuss how you determined which businesses to look at, such as those located in the same city or the first few found through a Google search. Describe the process you went through at the site or sites. For instance, perhaps you searched for and attempted to buy a toy for a child within a certain age group. Include information about rating criteria in this section.
3 Describe the structure and content of the site or sites. It is important to comment upon how easy it is to find products but also company information such as hours of operation and a contact email. Point out inconsistencies in menus among multiple pages and organizational issues such as links that are difficult to find.
4 Write specific recommendations based upon the findings in the previous section. Refer to the company goals as well as effective elements of other websites if applicable.
5 Create an executive summary, which is a brief explanation of your report’s purpose, findings and recommendations. An executive summary typically explains the report in more detail than an abstract and is usually one or two pages long. It should explain the information without repeating the report verbatim. (Not needed for this assignment, but helpful to know for real-world application)
6 Organize the report by placing the executive summary first, then methods, findings, discussion, recommendations and any appendices such as a scoring matrix. Label each section accordingly. (Not needed for this assignment, but helpful to know for real-world application)
7 Review your language choice. The report should explain ideas succinctly without a lot of technical terms. If you do need to use jargon, define such terms when you first use them.
8 Ask someone to review your report for clarity. The reviewer should not just be an editor looking for comma errors or spelling mistakes but someone willing to express concerns about the way your ideas come across. Revise the report as needYou will analyze four different types of Websites:
-Commercial website (product or service) for Senior Adults
-Your old High School’s website
-Entertainment Website for Children
-Website advocating for a single Social Cause

* Share a quotation from the Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried that captured your attention. see the PDF attached
* In a short paragraph (7-10 sentences), perform a close reading of the quotation by answering the following questions:
What details of the text stand out to you?
Are these details representative of a literary deviceLinks to an external site.?
Why did these details stand out?
What is the effect or impact of that textual detail and/or literary device?
Does the detail connect to the overall themes or messages of the chapter?

*The quotation I selected is on page 9 of the chapter. It reads, “Afterward, when the firing ended, they would blink and peek up. They would touch their bodies, feeling shame, then quickly hiding it. They would force themselves to stand. As if in slow motion, frame by frame, the world would take on the old
logic—absolute silence, then the wind, then sunlight, then voices. It was the burden of being alive” (O’Brien 9).
This use of imagery appealed to many of the readers’ senses and painted the picture of the mental effects soldiers experience through war. The section that describes “They would touch their bodies, feeling shame, then quickly hiding it,” connects to the readers’ sense of touch as well as emotions of both sympathy and sorrow for the soldier. Once the firing ceases, we can visualize the solider coming back into self awareness and frantically touching his body to see if he is still alive. Furthermore, this demonstrates how the soldiers are conflicted with either wanting to be alive or dead, which is a terrible reality for the reader to ponder for the soliders who are in the midst of war. To end this quote, it reads, “the world would take on the old logic—absolute silence, then the wind, then sunlight, then voices. It was the burden of being alive.” This section appeals to the visual senses and continues to weigh heavily on the reader’s emotions by portraying how the soldiers must live with these horrible memories forever, yet nobody else will understand because the after effects of the battle will eventually be masked by the peaceful state of Earth. All aspects of this quote create a clear image for the reader, whether it is visual, touch, or emotional. It connects to the overall message of the chapter by demonstrating the hardships soldiers have to go through in the state of war as well as long after these horrible events are over because the memories will continue to haunt them.

**This quote was on the bottom of the first column of page 3, all the first few sentences to the next column of the same page. I quoted Kiowa, he said Ted Lavender was always the one scared, the one who carried tranquilizer to calm himself down in the group, got shot. Kiowa said “It was like watching a rock fall, or a big sandbag or something—just boom, then down—not like the movies where the dead guy rolls around and does fancy spins and goes ass over teakettle—not like that. Kiowa said the poor bastard just flat-fuck fell. Boom. Down. Nothing else.”
I find that Kiowa was an interesting character in the book. The author described Kiowa, as someone who carried a lot of things with him, both physically and emotionally attached to his heart. He was a devout Baptist, and carried an illustrated New Testament that had been presented to him by his father, who taught Sunday school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He also carries his grandfather’s old hunting hatchet. Also, as a hedge against bad times, however, Kiowa also carried his grandmother’s distrust of the white man.
These were the details from the text that stood out to me, which tells pretty much a lot of the person’s character with whom I’ve never met. In the quote that I took from Kiowa in the first paragraph, the words he used were so animated, to me, the Literary Device that closely describes his quote is Imagery. These details stood out, because of how detailed Kiowa describe the death of Ted Lavender, Kiowa describes the scenes as he was seeing it in live action, until the end of Ted Lavender. The effect or impact of that textual detail and/or literary device was so strong, that I could also literally imagine how it happened and seeing such a horrible thing must have caused a lot of sadness and a lot of stress. The detail connects to the overall themes or messages of the chapter most definitely throughout the chapter, with the title of “The things they carried. What Kiowa saw with his own bare eyes added to the many things he was carrying in the chapter and most likely for the rest of his life, that memory of Ted Lavender was so vivid, it was something very unforgettable that Kiowa actually repeated saying and telling everyone that same night that Ted Lavender died.

B)
For this writing project, we will practice writing our own personal narratives. A personal narrative is a unique form of storytelling that recounts events from one’s life, often focusing on a particular experience or moment that holds significance. Unlike a traditional autobiography, personal narratives emphasize subjective experiences and emotions. This offers readers insight into the storyteller’s perspective.
We will take inspiration from Tim O’Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried. In an interview, O’Brien noted that “the things we carry, the objects we carry, say things about the sorts of people we are…”
Think about the sorts of things you carry. Consider objects that you always have in your bag, on your nightstand, or even in a secret place. These object may range from practical belongings to sentimental keepsakes– each with its own story to tell.——-
Choose 1
artifact/object to focus on for this project. Craft a short (600-850 word) personal narrative using that artifact as inspiration. Th artifact should function as a kind of centerpiece of your narrative.
In your narrative you could tell the story of …
-the artifact’s history and significance
-the memories it evokes.
—–
Your chosen object could feature prominently in a pivotal moment from your past, symbolize a defining aspect of your identity, or serve as a catalyst for personal growth. Ultimately, your personal narrative will tell us something deeper about who you are.
Here are some things to keep in mind when writing a narrative:
* Include descriptive detail, giving attention to all of the senses, to recreate events rather than a summary of what happened.
**Use time order effectively, including chronological, flashbacks, and flash-forward, omitting non-relevant events.
***Use selective dialogue, and avoid lengthy word-for-word dialogue that isn’t relevant.
****Let the narrative make the point without summarizing a “moral.” Trust your readers to draw their own conclusions from your story. Show rather than tell!!
*****Explore the significance of the event by combining narration and reflection.
******Use characterization to depict the qualities, characteristics, and appearance of characters.
*******Employ various literary devices such as imagery, metaphor, syntax, etc
