Category 1: Local News and Events Site. All things Los Angeles in a general news format. Includes food reviews, news by neighborhood (ideally you could post specifically about the neighborhood you live in), and entertainment listings (like upcoming parades, free outdoor performances, and other family events). This web design layout also includes a school yard news section that could relate specifically to happenings within the Camino Nuevo organization (all sites), and/or Los Angeles School news issues. The history section is a cool section that will give you the opportunity to really do some online research about Los Angeles in the past (find cool historical photos, etc.) or research the history of the the neighborhood you live in. Choose this layout if you enjoy reading news about Los Angeles.

Category 2: A National (U.S.) News Website. This site would enable you to have a fairly broad swath of news and information to post and organize on your website. For this type of web site I envision news of politics, science and environment news that is national (news dealing with U.S. dependence on oil, global warming, and even alternative fuels science news). The education blog would deal with national news around that topic (education reform in other states and education laws). The Heath and Medicine section might discuss current virus outbreaks in the U.S. (Seasonal Flu), and other health related news that makes national headlines. Chose this type of web layout if you enjoy reading national news (news that affects the entire U.S. population).
