~!~ Safety tips on electricity ~!~
1. Site address: http://sln.fi.edu/franklin/safety.html

2. I think the author created this website for young adults because there is children picture on it not a real life one. It talks about things that an adult already knows about electricity and that a young adult would probably not know. So this website can tell them not to play with electrical wires.

3. The purpose website is to warn young adults not to fool around with electrical wires that can kill. It also tells you who invented electricity. Benjamin Franklin studied electricity, and is quite famous even today for his kite and key experiment with lightning. We must always remember that Ben could have been seriously injured during that experiment. It is never a good idea to be careless with something as powerful as electrical energy!

4. The types of information that is given is about how to stay safe around electrical wires. Such as:


Never play with electrical cords, wires, switches, or plugs.
Stay away from fallen power lines. Tell an adult if you see a fallen line.
Never use a hair dryer or play an electrical radio or television near a bathtub or sink.
Before you climb a tree, look up. If a power line is nearby or touching, stay away from the tree.
Never touch anything that runs on electricity when your hands are wet.
Fly kites and model air planes in a wide open field or park—never near overhead electrical wires. Never climb utility poles or electrical towers.
Stay away from substations and transformers (green boxes).

5. Yes this website is easy to use because it is easy to read and under stand. It has understandable words for young adults to read. It gives a good lot of information and explains a lot about electricity. I think it might also be for young children too.

6. The picture is appealing but the words are not. The words are just black also the bottom and top of the page are green. That also makes it appealing!! It doesn’t have very much appealing accessories in it. The picture is very colorful with colors of blue, white, red, gold, purple, black, green and brown. It is mostly dull colors, but some of them are attractive!

7. I think you should make the lettering colorful to be attractive to younger audiences. You should also make the page color a bright color. The title is good along with the green on the top and bottom. That should be all the things you should change. That will make it a whole lot better to be attractive to younger audiences!!

8. I would give it a 3 because there is not a lot of color. There is a lot of information, but some of it doesn’t need to be there. Some of it is just repeating its self and it uses the words,"electricity and electrical" a lot. Although it is hard to come up for another word for electricity and electrical, try not to use it a lot! That will make audiences more stuck to it, and keep reading.
