Development Phases
Phase 1: Placing the classroom-tested study guide online, along with classroom-tested research topics on background issues for
the novel. Adding starter web links to research topics. (Done in
Summer, 2001:
Thanks to the VCCS for a one-credit Professional Development Research Grant to
found this website.)
Phase 2: Adding third-hand research from students who gave permission for
their answers to research questions to be duplicated. (Two samples were
added to support modular study; see the sitemap.) Adding collections of
passages on particular themes. (10 lists of passages were added in
Spring-Summer, 2002; see the sitemap for a linked
list.) Adding a feedback form.
Phase 3: Developing three modules based on study questions, research
questions, and sets of passages related to themes of the novel. (April-August,
2002: LOCUS-SOCKET training for 60 faculty was sponsored by the VCCS under the
LearningWare program. That included the development of 3 modules using
Incremental Learning Objectives [ILOs].)(Completed in Spring-Summer, 2002; see
the sitemap.)
Phase 4: Adding media versions on some topics, e.g. online video or sound
on the conduct of the war, possibly excerpts from the novel.
Phase 5: Gaining permission to add primary and secondary source materials
on this web site that may not be readily available via inter-library loan or the
Web.
Phase 6: Offering the website to Hemingway's publisher, gathering quotable
quotes from Hemingway's biographers.
