 ACCOMMODATIONS
-For students with a language barrier instructions will be
printed in their native tongue in order for them to create
their websites. It is also encouraged that all students add
a different language tab for all the students to navigate
their peers works.

-Students who have special circumstances will have the

chance of getting more time for their webpage design and
for their artist statements.

-For student who finish early I can have the steps listed
on the board for their viewing, so they can work on their
own time and continue with the lesson.

-I will also give the students visuals so the students can

have visual examples while they navigate through the
creation of their websites.

-Students who are unable to navigate weebly will have

the chance to create a 1 page digital portfolio that still
has the requirements of the weebly.

HISTORY
For this activity creators will learn about web safety and
artistic branding through building a digital portfolio that
will be used throughout the year as a time capsule of
artistic growth and planning.
Challenge Questions

2.What does your artist statement say about you as a creator? Is this reflected
in the aesthetic of your webpage?
3. What images are you going to add to your digital portfolio? Do these
images add or take away from the aesthetic of your webpage?.
