KS3 Computing Website Design Complete Unit of Work

KS3 Computing website design unit: students plan and prototype their own website over 5 lessons, with work and homework booklets and answers.

Students learn what makes a good website, then plan and build a prototype of their own, from a first idea through sitemaps, file management and peer review. Every slide looks like a browser window, which suits the topic.

5 lessons (PowerPoint)

1. What is a Website?
2. Website Design Principles
3. Media and File Structure
4. Designing Your Website (Part 1)
5. Designing Your Website (Part 2)

Every lesson includes

• “Today’s Tabs” learning objectives and a retrieval warm-up
