The Project
Many people think of the 3 “G’s” as the motivating factors for all those who went exploring. After all those 3 “G’s” stand for “Gold, Glory and God”.
For this assignment the purpose of your website is to create an “online” marketplace for some of the goods those explorers found on their travels and brought back to your market for you to sell.
You will end up with a total of six pages
For this assignment the purpose of your website is to create an “online” marketplace for some of the goods those explorers found on their travels and brought back to your market for you to sell.
You will end up with a total of six pages
Page #1
Your “cover” or introduction page that explains the purpose of the site and the things which the viewer will see while looking through your "market's goods". Since this is an online marketplace you should have a catchy title, artwork and other information that will draw the browser in.
Page #s 2, 3, 4 and 5
These pages will each focus on a different area, their markets and what sorts of goods have been brought back.
(consider explaining the "value" of each good - why it is worth so much)
As a class we will discuss the information on the map spanning page 462-3
Note that the maps and information on pages 258, 347, 352, 446, 453, 460 and 463 will be of great use to you.
*But don't think there is not more information in the book and online that will allow you to really make your market "great"

I suggest you add pictures of the explorers, the goods they brought back, maps of the areas and routes, the markets themselves and anything else you think will make the page look better.
Make sure you remember to focus on quality not quantity of information and that plagiarism will result in a zero for the assignment.
