Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Be able to create hyperlinks from text and images to bookmarks on the same page, other locally stored web pages, a website using the URL, send mail to a specified email address, to open in a specified location (the same window, a new window, with a w
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the purpose of the anchor (<a>) element and its key attributes (href, target, title).
  • Apply correct syntax to create hyperlinks to bookmarks, local pages, external sites, and email addresses.
  • Demonstrate how to control link opening behavior using the target attribute (same window, new tab, named window).
  • Embed hyperlinks in images while maintaining accessibility best practices.
Materials Needed:
  • Computer lab with internet access
  • Projector and screen
  • HTML editor (e.g., VS Code or Notepad++)
  • Sample web pages and image files
  • Printed worksheet with hyperlink exercises
  • Teacher’s slide deck showing anchor syntax
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick demo of a clickable link on the screen to capture interest. Ask students what happens when they click different types of links and recall previous lessons on basic HTML tags. Explain that today they will master creating various hyperlinks and learn how to control where those links open, with success measured by completing the hands‑on worksheet.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5'): Review a short HTML snippet and identify the anchor tag components.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Explain the <a> element attributes (href, target, title) with live coding examples.
  3. Guided practice (15'): Whole‑class creation of a bookmark link and a local‑page link; test results in the browser.
  4. Pair activity (15'): Build external URL links, mailto links, and image‑wrapped links using target="_blank" and named windows; teacher circulates for feedback.
  5. Consolidation quiz (5'): Quick Kahoot/exit ticket with three questions on link types and target values.
Conclusion:
Summarize the key differences between internal, external, and email hyperlinks and how the target attribute controls the browsing context. Have students write one exit‑ticket sentence describing which target value they would use for a link that should open in a new tab. Assign homework to add three varied hyperlinks to a personal HTML page and bring it to the next lesson.
