Mall history site:
The scholarship seem sound and as current as it needs to be for a history site. The interpretation is that the National mall is an important landmark and should be remembered. I think the content is very well communicated to the audience, it is easy to understand and laid out in a easily accessible manner. I would like my project to also be easily accessible and I might try to add a map into mine like they have done on this site.
The design of the website is easy to use because it looks like an online exhibit where you click the topic that you are interested in. the project functions as expected on my computer but I’m not sure how well it works when at the mall with many people around. Yes, I think the design is clear and effective. I would like to follow a similiar design and make my project look like an online exhibit. I like the layout of the exhibit style project and I find that they are easy to use.
Covers the history of the national mall and events that occurred on the mall, is also used for people who are touring the mall.
The site is for historians of the national mall or anyone who would like to know the history of it. My project audience will also be historians and anyone who wants to know about festivals of the past.

This project has helped me create an idea of what I would like my project to look like, but I think I will add of humor and lightheartedness to mine because it is about festivities.
Very nice blog. All of the components of reviewing a website are presented and the layout is smooth.
