Group Work, post due by 8:00am on Wednesday: 

Together as a group you should create a detailed site map that outlines the organization of the assets you presented in class for the last assignment.  Remember that your project needs to cover the following areas: spatial history, data mining and analysis, textual analysis, and visual and aural culture.  All four of these areas should be represented in your site map.

You may design and publish your site map outside of our class blog, but write a post with the map embedded (preferable) or linked to.

Your post should include the following:

• A statement of the historical question you’re examining in a single sentence
• A visual representation of how your final product will be organized for readers/viewers (this is the site map) — be as specific as you can about how users will navigate through the various forms of material you will present
• Reference to tools that will be employed to analyze data before it gets presented on your site
• Reference to tools that will be employed to display information on your site
• An up-to-date inventory of primary sources
