1. visit one or more ESL sites and fill in the evaluation sheet. (see below for possible websites to visit)

2. think about a simple concept/design for your own webpage

Possible websites for evaluation:

• English to Go They produce a free weekly lesson, and have an archive of past prepared lessons. (http://www.English-To-Go.com/)
• Dream Holiday Online Unit (http://home.vicnet.net.au/~flemrw/dreamholiday/) This site was posted just this week. The creator of it, a teacher in Victoria, is asking for some feedback. Why not have a look at it and let him know what you think?
• Englishtown (http://englishtown.ef.com/en/)
• Tower of English (http://members.tripod.com/~towerofenglish/index.htm)
• Dave's ESL Cafe (http://www.pacificnet.net/~sperling/eslcafe.html)
