Project 1 - Your Perfect School

Task: To create a website front page for your perfect school

Some questions to help you:

What is the name of your school?
How can you describe it? Where is it? How many classrooms are there? What do they look like? What facilities does your school have (a computer room, sports field, etc)?
How about the students? Is it a mixed school, or boys- or girls-only? How old are they?
What are the teachers like? What do they do?
What lessons do you have? Which are your favourite and why?
Do you have to wear a uniform? What does it look like?
What rules does your school have? What happens if you break them?
How about after school activities? What are they?

Think about your front page. It should be interesting and informative. It should be nicely designed too.

You can look at some other school websites to get some ideas. Search on Google for some schools you know and look at their websites. Look in your Challenges 3 book at the schools we talked about in Module One.

Good luck!
