Exercise
 Project 1 Final Site
Description
 The final international article chunked story files are due on disk in the HTML template.
Requirements
 Turn in a total of 13 HTML pages on a floppy. Use the HTML templates the instructors provided you -- you only have to insert your text into the table cells & insert links.

The pages include:

  • 3 chunks for each of the 3 students interviewed (9 total)
  • 1 international student page with links to relevant articles about that student (3 total)
  • 1 journalist page with links to the articles (1 total)
Be sure to test your floppy disk before turning it in to make sure that all of the links work & the pages load properly.

Students are heavily encouraged to link to other relevant student journalist chunks as appropriate. Additionally, you can make minor modifications to the template in order to unify or personalize various sections, however please keep the overall look & feel in mind.
