Lessons > Lesson 5 > Delivery


1. Introduction: Starting a new web page and setting its properties.


Relevant tutorials for demonstrating the skills for this lesson can be found in the preparation section.

The remaining lessons use Microsoft Frontpage Express as the web authoring software although any other suitable program can be used.

Demonstrate to pupils how to:

  • Start a new page and name it.
  • Set the background colour.
  • Set any hyperlink properties.

Remind pupils about saving this as their home or index page in the correct place within the web site structure.


2. Adding and formatting text, graphics and tables.


Demonstrate the following basic skills:

  • Adding text.
  • Formatting text properties.
  • Adding graphics, resizing and positioning.
  • Adding a table and setting its properties.
  • Changing the cell properties.

Remind pupils to make use of the undo button.

Pupils will then create their own page based on the planning from lesson 3. The resources should already be available.

Remind pupils to save at regular intervals.

3. Plenary: Lesson review.

By the end of this lesson pupils should have their first 'home' or 'index' page created. Pupils need to understand the term 'plugin' and how 3rd party software needs these to be shown on a web page, e.g. Flash 'plugin' to display a Flash movie.

Use this time to:

  • Discuss common problems and concerns.
  • Show examples of good practice.
  • Agree ways to improve pages.
Homework:


Give out homework5 - this asks pupils to
identify errors on a web page and to suggest improvements.

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
