Check here at the start of class for what we will do today ~ as well as for any special notes. Today's note will be at the top of the list.
October
Continuing with our web page. Everyone now should have an index.html page which is you basic home page. When you open Dreamweaver and Files you should see your folder at the top with a sub-folder in it titled 2007-08 and a sub folder in that titled tri1.
In your tri1 folder you should have your index.html file (your homepage for this trimester – we will make one for each trimester).
In your tri1 folder titled images. You will keep your images for this trimester here.
1. At the top of your Dreamweaver page be sure you have Window > Files open . Create a new file by using
the dropdown menu at the top/right (the little lines ) of the “files” and name this file early-writing.html (you may have already done this).
From your index.html file make a link to your early-writing file in the properties menu at the bottom of your page. If you do not see "properties" that means you have
not ticked it in the Window menu . You will put the page you want to link to in the Link box (you can
point to a file in your folder using 'the point to file" and dragging the line to your file. The target is whether you want to open your page in a new window or in the same window you are currently in.
On your early-writing file insert an image (and you should have one on your desktop) from an early writing tablet (cuneiform).
From this site http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GLOSSARY/CUNEI.HTM
Find out what these two pictographic mean; and
and write a brief description (do not copy and paste from the website but use your own words).
Insert these pictographic onto your early-writing webpage (you will need to drag them onto your desktop from this page then insert them into your page – be sure to save them in “images” folder in your tri1 folder in your 2007-08 folder.
On your webpage go to “Modify” > “Page properties” and choose a background.
In “title” at the top of your page if you have not already changed it from “untitled” change it to Sumerian Writing.
What we be doing, starting this class, is to explore the evolution of writing; from five-thousand years ago to what you read on your mobile phone.
Firstly, create a new Dreamweaver page
Select Blank Page and layout = none / and save it as sumerian.html.
Begin looking at early writing - go to http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/writing/home_set.html
See also http://fc.dwight.edu/Login/__WWW/studentweb/6th/SumerianLogographs.htm
include an image on your new webpage and reference it such as "Sumerian Writing" from http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/writing/home_set.html viewed September 25, 2007 and be sure there is a title in the titlebar
To make links go to the toolbar, usually at the bottom of your page and put in the complete URL and target whether you want your viewer to open a new page or the page they are on... .
On your new groovy webpage you will start writing about your research into early writing. What, for example, is similar between writing five-thousand years ago and writing on your mobile phone or in Instant Messenger? Hint…. What are emoticons???
