You are a volunteer for Literacy Memphis, which provides adults instruction in basic reading skills.
In the past five years, the number of students served by Literacy Memphis has increased dramatically. The organization needs more volunteer tutors.
The purpose of your Web site is to interest other Memphians in the organization and, more specifically, to encourage them to volunteer as tutors.
After reading your files, you’ll be ready to begin the preparatory work necessary to produce an effective Web site. This work will include:
Make sure to consult the section on creating Web sites in the handbook. You might also surf the Web and examine the Web sites of organizations like Literacy Memphis.
We recommend that you consult The Penguin Handbook as you work on this assignment. We also suggest that you use some of the Writing and Researching Worksheets, which are designed to offer you specific guidance at all stages of the writing process.
The individuals, organizations, and publications listed in these files are entirely fictional. We have created these documents so that you may learn how to use sources effectively and appropriately before conducting original research of your own.
The information included in File 3 is authentic, however. The file cites the sources from which we have drawn these statistics.
