_____ 8) **Find topics in the Rothe book we use that relate to the topic of how drivers communicate with each other. See also our class discussions on this (consult your notes).

(a) content, (b) approach, and (c) presentation.
Note: hurry up and post your draft of this report so others can complete this part of it!! Please email the class when your report is first posted.

_____ 10) **Add a tagged Conclusion section explaining how you think future generations can use your document for studying the psychology of how drivers communicate. How can they further your project to its next step? Summarize the steps you've taken and those of other G8 students, then indicate future directions for G8 and beyond--be very specific. Consult your class notes to see what you have on it, or bring it up on class email discussion.

_____ 11) Add a centered h1 heading, calling the document:
Report on How Drivers Communicate:
xxx
_____ 12) Put this in your [title] field: FN, LN, How Drivers Communicate, G8/Spring 1998, Psychology 459

_____ 14) Be sure you add a Navigation Table and e-mail button at the bottom of the document.

_____ 15) Using your web browser, check your document screen by screen: no screen should be made of just one paragraph (i.e., no paragraph should exceed one screen full--it's too hard to read that way!)

_____ 16) Spell check your document before uploading!!

_____ 17) Check the visibility of your text: patterned backgrounds are not allowed. Darker colors are not allowed. White bgcolor is always excellent, especially if you vary the font face, color, and size to enhance visibility and emphasis (no blinking text allowed). Remember: your text looks different in different browsers and computers, so you need to experiment and ask others. You may also use graphic enhancers such as color bars, color dots, icons. However, animated icons are a problem if they distract attention from the text. Using the Table tag in html allows easy control over the color of each column and the placement of text on the screen. See this example for how to change the color of fonts. See this student's effective use of varied font faces, colors, and sizes.

_____ 18) Check the way your document loads after it contains everything. How long does it take? Does text appear on the screen while one waits, or is it blank? Slow loads and blank screens are not allowed, so you must choose graphics that are low in memory size!
