Unit 9: Publishing on the web
Section 6: Activity 5

QCA

Objectives
Children should learn:
  • to design web pages based on a personal interest
  • the need to adopt a holistic approach to web page design
  • to think about the audience for whom the page is created
  • to reflect critically on their work and use this evaluation to improve it
  • about the responsibility of publishing on the internet

Activities

Outcomes
Children:
  • Discuss suitable subjects for a web page, and the range of audiences that the page could be produced for.
  • Ask the pupils to produce spider charts that consider subjects, contents and audience.
  • Ask pupils to decide on their topic, and to write a simple brief. Pupils could work on a common theme in groups of five and then arrange links between their pages. Ask pupils to draw a chart that represents the various sections and the links between them.
  • Ask pupils to create their pages using the tools previously introduced.
  • Encourage pupils to develop a system for the evaluation of their pages, through asking questions of others who have accessed their site.
  • Discuss the aspects of responsibility of publishing work on the internet. Topics to be addressed should include libel, plagiarism, sensitivity to others, acknowledging sources and authorship. Pupils should be asked to present an argument about why their pages should be published on the internet before proceeding.
  • Post the final pages to the school intranet.
  • understand that it is important to consider purpose and aims when designing a web page
  • create content suitable for the intended audience
  • design and produce web pages linked to others
  • evaluate their work and use this to improve it
  • present arguments about publishing responsibly

Points to note
  • The page should include a background colour image, at least two images, and at least three internal links.
  • Pupils could design web pages with links and content for more than one audience.
