Team Work

    The set of five pages should show organization and coherence.  There should be clear agreement of purpose
across links and no overlap of content in the pages.  That means each individual must know what the others are
presenting.  (20 points)
18 points.  The evidence was well divided and seemed to offer some support for the argument.  The comparison didn't seem to fit very well with the evidence and argument.

Presentation

    The pages should be well written with good grammar and spelling.  There should be a maximum of one graphic per
page.  All parts of the page should be related to it's main content.  Each page should have it's author's name on it.
