Milestone #1 – October 12
Have all information on Shay’s Rebellion gathered and have sorted through it all. At this point we should have no need to go to the Springfield Armory or anywhere else. We should have all of our information, secondary and primary. We should know what we have, what goes together, and begin thinking about the layout of the website. After this point it should be more technical and aesthetic based work on the project.
Milestone #2 – October 26
Have a basic layout of the website constructed. Have all if not most of the aspects; timelines, images and write-ups all done. By this date we should not be sitting down to write anything or be building any timelines, or looking for images. Being history majors we are pretty good at writing things and pretty alright at doing timelines so this is where we put our noses to the grindstone in order finish a blueprint of the website to work off of. What goes where, how many pages/tabs, what the pages/tabs are, where do the images go, etc.
Milestone #3 – November 9
Have the website designed and begin inserting the aspects. This point should see no more write-ups being done, especially no more information gathering. This is where we begin to “copy and paste” (for lack of a better term) the parts of the website together. Putting in the write-ups, timelines, images, etc. Making final changes to the project. We should have a pretty finished website by this point so then the following weeks we can be very nitpicky about it.
Final Project Due – November 30
Turn in the final project and really “wow” the competition.
