Journal 4 Project Plan

Site Title: Origins of Ancient Rome
I picked this as the site title because I wanted to do something that I could hopefully incorporate into my future classroom. And I do love world history, specifically ancient world history so I decided it would be a fun project for not only me, but a fun site for future students as well.
Developer: Me
Rational: The overall goals of the site are to familiarize ancient Rome with my students by tapping into its origin stories. These stories will be things such as Romulus and Remus, also involving characters such as Aeneas. Through these creation stories the students will have a better understanding of how the Roman civilization was thought to have existed. This will actually be something that students will be required to know due to California State standards as well.

Main Features: The main Features of this site are going to be multiple pages with explanatory text. It will also have pictures and video as well that will link to YouTube videos that explain the story of these significant characters.

Content- The subtopics of this site will be
An intro page- This page will briefly talk about the rise of the Roman Empire and a little about their beliefs.
Romulus and Remus- This will talk about the story of Romulus and Remus and their creation story. How they were raised and their rivalry.
Aeneas- What was his take on the story of Roman creation, and who he was as an individual
Actual factual evidence on how the Romans Became a strong Empire- How the Alps helped them, military advancements, political advancements.

Targeted audience- The targeted audience will be 6-10 graders primarily
Design Goals- The Design goals are going to be primarily nice flush colors with maybe a ancient looking border around the website. Also including many visuals per page to keep the site interesting.
Limiting Factors- Mostly time, also relative skill on how to complete everything as I want them to be done.
