Abstract
In presenting our multimedia project, we plan to create a website. The website will contain a homepage as well as a list of external links to use as evidence to support our argument. Since the audience of our website is professional, we will create an attractive but formal presentation. We will not be using “I” when presenting our argument. Our website will contain the information in paragraph form as well as videos and pictures that are relevant to the subject. The background will be black with a star border to emphasize the theme of space. We will also include pictures of planets and various forms of space travel. The videos will include previous space missions as well as videos of influential people making important comments about the space program (ex. John F. Kennedy speech). The bulk of our information will be on our homepage. The font of the homepage will be between size ten and fourteen so the audience will be able to stay focused and read the material, but not have a difficult time reading it. The pictures will be placed to the side while the text is wrapped around the picture so the audience will be able to read and visual the text. We will include contact information on the bottom as well as the date of the last update for the audience to be able to ask us questions and see how up to date the information is.
The homepage will also contain a navigational bar on the left side of the page. The navigation bar will contain various pages and other sites that will help support our argument. The navigation bar will be red while the links to the other pages will be blue. We will also have an external link containing our work cited. The various pages will include the history of NASA and the space program, the history of the Apollo space program, the history of the space shuttle, and a brief history of the satellite missions to Mars. Each page will include pictures and video that are relevant to the topic. The theme and background of each of these pages will pertain to the specific topic we are talking about.

Internal link -a hyperlink that refers to or navigates to another part of the same website or webpage
External Link- a hyperlink that refers to or navigates to an outside source; the source is not a part of the website.
Your website seems to rely too heavily on external sources. It seems like your website's major function is as a reference tool, referring people to reputable sources. That is not the point of this project. The website should present a comprehensive argument. If you had to write your argument as an essay, it should take 3,000 words to make your point.
You how think about how putting your argument on one page helps or hinders you?

I think we were confused by the way we wrote it but what we were trying to say was we are going to try and have our first page demonstrate our argument and the navigation bar will link to different pages that we have created to support our argument. Within those seperate pages we may contain links to the home webpage for NASA or something but that is just for more information to back it up. The seperate pages will include information about specific topics within our argument and elaborate more on those topics by using pictures and video pertaining to that subject. We are not going to try and make a giant website for other links. I am sorry for the confusion.
Your website does sound very professional. The external links sound like a great way to fortify your argument and the videos should add some interest as well. I look forward to seeing your website.
