• How would the electronic materials suit the assignment's intended pedagogy or methodological goals? What, if any, difference do the electronic materials make in construction of the activity (as compared to print materials)?
• How would this assignment be contextualized in your classroom? How might you follow it up?

Step three (15 minutes)  Each team should post an activity (using one or more web-sites) to the speakeasy cafe.

• Your assessment of the web site and CD.
