Your site has two pages, a menu and a surprise. Today you finish it and show it.
Finishing means adding, not just tidying. By the end your site will have:
Open the interactive on the board. Pupils open on their own site, so what they see is their work from the earlier lessons.
The third page is what stops this being a tidy-up. It also proves the menu builds itself: it will pick the new page up with nothing to configure.
Before you touch a block, decide what your third page is for.
Not another page about you. Something a visitor would click on purpose: a thing you collect, a place you go, a team you follow.
Say what it is, and two things that will go on it, to the person beside you.
Two minutes of deciding saves ten of drifting. Take three or four ideas from around the room so nobody is stuck.
Your site needs a third page, built the way you built the second.
Check: the menu at the top now lists THREE pages, and you never had to tell it about the new one.
If it did not work: the new page is missing from the menu, so it is inside another page block rather than beside it.
A long stretch. Circulate rather than teach: everything here was taught in Lessons 1 to 4.
The menu picking the third page up on its own is the moment worth pointing out. Nobody configures it.
Stop building for a minute.
Click Your web page and use the menu to visit all three pages, then come back to where you started.
Whole class stops together. A page with no menu is a dead end, and this is where pupils find their own.
A page with one long run of writing is hard to read. Split each one.
Check: every page has at least one named part, so a reader can see what is on it without reading it all.
The longest stretch, and revision of Lesson 1 applied across a whole site rather than one page.
A line or a space between parts is fair game here too if a pupil wants one.
