AAS 200: Notable Kentucky African Americans Webpage Assignment


Greetings, Class Community.


One aspect of our learning asks students to create a webpage that makes a significant statement about a notable African American from Kentucky or the surrounding region. 

A successful project will express considerable information about a notable African American from Kentucky and research this person in context with a national/historical figure that has made similar contributions in African American life and culture. 
Convey your ideas using journalistic language or language similar to the language and vocabulary used in newspaper articles and credible blogs.
Dr. Hill


Here are examples of student research projects that students have produced in my courses. These projects focus on the connections between Sara Baartman , the Venus Hottentot, and current events/popular culture. Please take a minute to preview them.
In class we will discuss best practices and how to build webpages.  An understanding of web audience preferences will add to this conversation.
