Netscape Composer
What does it do? Netscape Composer is a free and simple program with tools to help you create, revise and publish web pages. It comes as part of the free Internet browser software called Netscape Communicator.  It works much like a word processor in which you create links, add images, and format text. 
How does this tie in with comprehension strategies in Grades 4-8? Students can practice using new types of media to communicate their ideas to others around the world.  By designing their own web page, they'll be more prepared to evaluate the effectiveness of web pages designed by others.  They'll become more competent with organizing information in a non-linear manner and in generating text and images that complement each other in sending a certain message to their audience.
