is
to have
everything ‘ready to go’!

PROJECT
TEXTS
should be READY TO GO:
revised,
cleaned up, proofed
o
Title
your commentaries; a title makes the best link from your index page
o
A helpful
touch
is to prepare a
brief
introductory comment for your index page
that lets the reader know what each linked piece is about (optional but
encouraged).
·
SELECT
PHOTOS,
IMAGES, MAPS in advance
to enliven each
of your web pages!
o
No time to
choose
photos in the lab—best
to know your selection before hand
o
To get photos
from
our web photo gallery:
“copy”
the large
size to a disk or storage device
o
If you use
your
own photos (digital
or scanned), please
make sure to size them properly using Photoshop Elements (remember: use
resolution 72 pixels)
o
AVOID CLIP
ART—our
photos are so much more interesting!
o
USE ONLY .JPG OR .GIF
files
for images—others
do not work cross-platform (e.g. may not work on Mac computers, or may
not
work using other web browsers)
·
DESIGN—give
some thought
to how you want to design your page (layout, colors, font). Please keep
it
simple—we will not have time to do much fancy stuff!

Check
Sheet
for Your Web Portfolio: (be sure to change titles on you index page)
1. Bio—your own personal
biographical
information; include your photo; can be whatever you like!
2. Family Migration Object &
brief—remember
to scan or photograph
your object! Include your brief explaining the meaning of this object
to
your family’s memory of migration.
3. Im/migrant Agency brief—ideally, you should include
the
questions you answered along with the info you researched about your
agency
(assignment sheet available on BB)
4. Borderlinks brief—your report on our Nogales
fieldtrip. Be sure to add a photo or two!
5. Country Poster—“Why Migration” Country Team
Poster—link to the web version of your powerpoint, and add photos of
your poster from
our photo gallery. If time, it is really nice to include some of your
own
comments to go along with this—like a brief intro.
6. Migrants in the City—your brief and image(s) from
this mini-presentation
7. Crossing the Valley Project—the centerpiece of your
portfolio,
based on your migrant interview. Don’t forget to analyze your case by grounding your discussion
in
our study of migration concepts, patterns, & processes. Make the
analysis
part of your web presentation. Must include minimum of five
relevant references
from our course readings, in addition to other
sources.
8. Open Letter—(1-2 pages) wrap-up comment addressed
to Valley residents, reflecting on what you have
learned
throughout our course. Highlight one or
two key
reflective points that you would like your
readers
to consider in order to develop a fuller, more complex understanding of
migration. You can be creative here—e.g.
write
your letter in the form of an imaginary conversation between a Border
Patrol
officer and an un/documented immigrant…
