1. Introduction: Suitable resources for the web.
Pupils should understand that not all resources are suitable for use on web sites. Video clips and sound files are large and can take a long time to download. Some graphic formats are larger than others. Some graphics only need to be in a lower resolution. Some resources require 'browser plugins' to work. Give out handout4a - this summarises the points above. Show pupils the language cards language4 for this lesson.
2. Creating & collecting resources for the web site. | top
Prior to collecting the resources, pupils should create the necessary folder structure that they designed last lesson. You may wish to provide an electronic means for pupils to record resources & information which could be shared digitally during the plenary session. This could be placed in a shared area for this unit of work or pupils could e mail resources / links to a central area. Remind pupils about consistent and appropriate file / folder names. Pupil should now use the Internet and other methods, e.g. scanners and digital cameras, to collect the necessary resources. IMPORTANT Remind pupils that they should keep to their prepared list. Save the resources in the correct area of their web site structure. Rename the resources to something meaningful. Some resources may need adapting, e.g. editing the way an image looks or resaving it in a different format. Some pupils may prefer to create their own resources from scratch using a suitable graphics program.
3. Plenary: Lesson review | top
Some pupils may need this time to complete the activity, otherwise use it to review what they have learnt, in particular: Suitable resources for the web. Graphic formats. Ask a pupil to act as scribe for any interesting web sites that pupils have used to collect resources.
Homework: | top
Give out homework4 - this asks pupils to consider the issue of web safe colours. They are asked to refer to the handout (lesson2) and to complete a table about hexadecimal codes. You may feel it appropriate to provide the homework sheet in electronic format for those pupils with computer access at home. Consideration should then be given to: How they would return the work and the style - electronic or printed Virus protection Authenticity of the work
