Here is an evaluation of ten high school web pages.  I have critiqued them on the following elements: use of color, graphics, organization of data, speed which the pages load, and overall quality of the web site.  The scoring rubric that I have developed is listed below:

                                        OUTSTANDING!

                                               GOOD BUT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

                                                     OKAY BUT NEEDS A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT

                                                            NEEDS A COMPLETE MAKEOVER
