PIZZAZ! People Interested in Zippy and Zany Zcribbling.
(http://www.uoregon.edu/~leslieob/pizzaz.html)
Goals: The website is designed to provide simple creative writing and oral storytelling activities with copyable handouts for use with students of all ages.
Presentation: This website is generally divided into five categories: poetry, fiction, bags of tricks, more publishing opportunities and other teacher resources. There are many links available in each category. Beside the links are descriptions about the links. Some links are useful handouts and some are interesting activities, which can truly sharpen learners’ writing and reading proficiency from beginner level to advanced level.
Appropriates: Since this website provides learners with ample links, learners can select appropriate ones of their own choice according to their level. Navigation is also clear. Yet it seems that some of the links are provided to teachers instead of students.
Outcomes: I cannot find extra documents for further learning so far.
Evaluation: The website does not provide any feedback or evaluation. But there are e-mail address and the author’s address; perhaps users can e-mail him if they have any further questions or suggestions.
Notes: This website is clear and easy for learners to understand what or how can they learn. So it is suitable for learners who do not have much technology technique or knowledge like me!
When I first take a glance at this website, I do not be attracted by it too much. Perhaps it’s because the website does not have too fancy appearance. It is a just simple and clear one instead. Nonetheless, as I examine this website closely, I soon realize that it is a useful and abundant treasury for beginners. It contains various kinds of activities to pique learners’ interests as well as to broaden their English proficiency. If there is anything the website can be improved, well, it seems that most of the activities are designed for beginners, and not for advanced ones like us. I also find that at least one link is invalid. Furthermore, some links are offered for teachers to teach, not for learners to learn directly. I also think that the author can design this website more vividly by using multimedia materials such as sounds-effect, animation, pictures, short films and so on.
