More Website Reviews

 

You now need to review two other multimedia websites, BUT these should be your own choice.

 For instance, you could use

www.bbc.co.uk or www.howstuffworks.com

Try to choose an interesting site that appeals to a large audience and has got images / links that are easy to identify and copy and is easy to identify the target audience.  It must also use multimedia - ie. sounds and video/animation as well as images and text.

If you decide to write a review on a website of your own choice you must download this review form and complete it showing the full details for your chosen multimedia website: Own Multimedia Website Review Form
