It took our team 7 months to complete this
project. We estimate that it took about 5 hours for each page
(including research, writing, design and proofreading). This means
that we spent about 350 hours working on this
project.
We hope you like it!

Team
Our
team worked for a long time on this web site. It all started with
our interest in avian flu and how will it affect us. Most of us
live in the cities and do not really know much about chicken. So,
this topic was a new subject for us. Our team is made up of six
students from three different schools in two different countries.
Therefore, we could not meet as a team face to face. We used
think.com to help us communicate. We all researched and wrote
content, but we also knew that each one of us has strengths that
can help our team. Therefore, to make our job easier we divided
responsibilities among team members.

BIANCA
|
Bianca
was our team captain. She helped us organize and divide the
research and writing. She often checked our progress through
e-mails. Bianca also did a lot of research, especially about avian
flu, chicken diseases and economy.In addition, she helped work on
other topics when needed.

ROBERT
|
Robert's main responsibility was web design. He
came up with our site design and navigation. He also created image
maps and flash installed video and scripts. He worked on the tables
and colors and made sure that links work properly. In addition, he
took and edited pictures as well as did research in areas of
anatomy, history, issues, and farming

This
was Trenton's first Thinkquest. Trenton actually hatched the
chicken and followed them from egg to birth. He took many pictures
and research and wrote the hatching part. Trenton also worked on
nutrition, and breeds.

Scott
was also new to Thinkquest. His research was mostly about nutrition
value of eggs and chickens, preparation methods and safe handling
of eggs and chicken. Scott also assisted with anatomy and
issues.

Borna's area of research was traditions,
farming and issues. He visited farm in Croatia and created great
pictures. He also wrote about issues and farming ands

JACKIE
|
Jackie
was our main artist. She drew the pictures on combs, career and
issues pages. She also researched economy and careers in chicken
industry. Part of her responsibility was also editing of
photographs and video for our site.
|
While
we did not communicate in person a lot, we worked well together
because we were all committed to completing this site. Along the
way we had to overcome several challenges. For example,some of the
people new to Thinkquest had to learn a lot about web design so the
more experienced people assisted them and helped them learn. When
someone fell behind other team members pitched in. For example,
when Bianca got sick, Robert finished up her disease Javascript and
installed it. We also encouraged and motivated each other. We feel
that this web site was truly a team effort.
