Project #4: Website of Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game
Link: http://www.wix.com/kabottomley/westinggame
(with active tabs)
Method: The website was created by using http://www.wix.com/, a free site allowing users to create their own webpage. Some elements do cost money, but sites can be created without purchasing anything (I didn't). The website does take time to create, but I was pleased with the finished product.
I loved using a website to market this book. Since the book is a mystery, creating suspense was important to me. While I could have created another book trailer to have the same effect, I also wanted readers to participate in the book as Raskin did.
Reason for Inclusion: For me this book represented quality tween literature with intelligent writing, a thoughtful mystery, and great characterization.
