I have been working on my website today, although I have realised that I do not have anything on the home page. The home page is particularly important as it is the first page that is seen when accessing the website. However, because the home page is such an important page I am unsure about what to place on the page. I am hoping that while doing my Citizenship PGCE I will be able to place something really engaging and interesting to act as a front cover to my website.
Today I am planning to work on my ‘Key Terminology Page’. This page will be really useful in helping me to develop my subject knowledge. However, I would like to avoid as much as possible just writing definitions on a page as I think that this way of putting together a page is unengaging for young people and adults alike. Therefore, I plan to (where possible) include clips, diagrams and images to add further meaning to the written text. The page is headed ‘Key Terminology’. I am unsure about this wording as I think it makes the page sounds uninspiring and this is obviously something I aim to avoid. Therefore I need to consider what I am going to title the page. When creating my lesson examples I have particularly struggled with wording the objectives. While I am clear in my head about what I want the young people to have learnt by the end of the lesson, I am aware that I need to make sure that I have included lower and higher order thinking skills. Therefore, I have been reading about Bloom’s Taxonomy (Dymoke 2013 pp.64-66) and this has helped me to structure my learning objectives and, to present different levels of thinking throughout the lesson from ‘understanding’ to being able to ‘evaluate’.
