Project #1: Blackbird Project (10%)
Format and style Wallace Steven’s poem “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” in a one page HTML document with an external CSS stylesheet. Your pages must have at least the following :
- one external link
- one internal or anchor link
- one image insert
- one background image
The assignment will be graded based on the functional and proper uses and syntax of HTML mark-up and CSS styles. Though I am not grading on the quality of your design and layout, please put some effort into a pleasing look. Extra credit will be given if your design attempts to reflect an interpretation of the poem’s meaning!
