Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Know and understand functionality including Internet Service Provider (ISP), structure of a web address, Uniform Resource Locator (URL), hyperlink, web browser
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the role of ISPs and the services they provide.
  • Identify and label the components of a URL.
  • Construct a basic hyperlink using the HTML <a> tag.
  • Explain how a web browser retrieves and renders a web page.
  • Evaluate the purpose of different link types (external, internal, anchor, download).
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Computers with internet access (one per student)
  • Worksheet for URL breakdown exercises
  • Sample HTML files for hyperlink practice
  • Web browser (e.g., Chrome) for demonstration
  • Whiteboard and markers
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: who has recently visited a website and noticed the address bar? Review that the address they see is a URL that tells the browser where to go. Today we will explore how ISPs connect us, how URLs are built, and how browsers turn those addresses into pages. Success will be measured by students correctly dissecting a URL and creating a working hyperlink.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students write the full web address of their favourite site and share any components they notice.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Explain ISP functions and how they provide internet connectivity.
  3. Interactive demo (10’) – Break down a sample URL on the board, labeling protocol, subdomain, domain, TLD, path, query, and fragment.
  4. Guided practice (15’) – Students complete a worksheet to label parts of given URLs and answer short questions.
  5. Hyperlink coding activity (15’) – In pairs, students write HTML anchor tags linking to a chosen page, experimenting with target and title attributes.
  6. Browser walkthrough (10’) – Show how a browser retrieves a page, renders HTML/CSS, and executes JavaScript.
  7. Check for understanding (5’) – Quick quiz or exit ticket on ISP role, URL parts, and hyperlink syntax.
  8. Wrap‑up (5’) – Review key points and assign homework.
Conclusion:
Summarise that ISPs enable access, URLs guide browsers to resources, and hyperlinks connect pages. For the exit ticket, each student writes one URL component and its purpose. Homework: create a simple HTML page with three different types of links and annotate each URL component.
