lesson
Navigation should answer a reader's need
1 · Learn
A website can contain several linked pages. Plan a purpose for each page and a clear route between them. A home link helps visitors recover their starting point, while descriptive link text explains the destination better than repeated 'click here'.
A page title and heading structure help readers understand the content. Do not create a menu entry for a missing page and pretend it is working navigation.
2 · Worked example
For a fictional model exhibition, I plan Home, Models and Visiting information. The link 'View the bridge models' tells the reader more than an unlabelled arrow.
3 · Your turn
Why is a link called 'Download the timetable' clearer than 'Click here'?
Check your answer
It describes the destination or action, including when a reader encounters the link separately from nearby text.
4 · Apply your learning
Draw a three-page site map and trace a visitor's route to one specific answer and back home.
Adult guidance and safety
Use a school-approved offline or supervised tool and fictional data. Keep work private, respect media permissions and check accessibility. Paper traces support understanding but do not replace running, saving and testing a real project. Do not enter passwords, addresses or other personal details into exercises.
Open your writing and drawing pad
Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.
Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.
Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.
Clear the drawing? Your typed notes will stay. You can undo this action.
Your pad is empty.
Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
Replace the notes on this page with the opened file? Download the current notes first if you want to keep them.
Typed notes are not submitted answers.
Check a calculation · Year 5 onward
Use this only when your teacher or adult allows a calculator for the task. Show your thinking first. It does not replace mental or written arithmetic and does not mark your lesson answer.
