This week the content teams gave status reports to the class. This consisted of an overview of the topic they are covering and a rough diagram of the content elements. Topics are:

• The Tower Theater
• Day and Night Life
• Tower District Architecture
• Virtual Tour

The reports helped the teams picture what other teams were doing. In several instances overlaps became apparent and their was discussion of how this would be handled. For example, the Architecture group wants to include information about the Tower Theater. It was decided that the theater group would link to the arhcitecture section on the theater. In another instance the Virtual Tour group wanted to include the theater in their tour, but decided to leave that content to the theater group and link to it.

The content groups also began turning in the content maps for their sections. These were based on the card sort usability tests they completed and turned in last week. Some groups are still working on their maps. Finished copies of the maps go to the template team to combine into a master content map. The template team will then develop the global navigation based on the master map.

Tonight, the template team will present their sketched ideas for the layout and logo for the site.
