First English 4 assignment--Summer 2020

For your first English 4 assignment, we will be investigating the “Staying IN: Hayward” website. This spring semester, Chabot students created the content for this website in response to the Covid pandemic, and being asked to quarantine at home. The goal of the website is to demonstrate that Hayward (and other local cities) is a "resilient community full positive examples of humanity."
You should spend a LONG time on the website...going through all the posts. Once you do this, you have 4 questions to answer below. I want you to write long paragraphs in response to the questions. I think you will be very impressed with the quality of work here. 
Here is the link to the website.  https://sicchabot.wixsite.com/stayinginhayward

Here are the 4 questions you will be answering:1. What are your impressions of the website? The look, the overall feel, how you navigate it, the layout, etc? (2 paras total)2. What are three things you learned about these Chabot students? (3 paras total. You must pull quotes from different presentations to support your points. We are interested in TRENDS here. Dont just look at 3 random presentations and talk about 3 individuals.)3. What is your favorite presentation (2 paras total. You should talk about WHY you like it. Pull quotes to support your points.)4. How successful do you think the website is in achieving the goals of “providing positivity, building community, and finding ways to support one another”?   (2 paras total.)

Once you answer these questions, hold on to them in a word doc. As soon as my Canvas site is up and running, I will have you upload your work into the Canvas site...
