A.i · The user and the need
Worksheet 1, task 1: keep the intended audience, visitor need, and real dated observation or comment. Use this evidence to explain the improvement; add only what is missing.
Grade 8 · Personal website
Personal website assessment
Improve your existing personal website using the home-page design chosen in Worksheet 2. Make it useful for the audience you researched. Keep the content and files that already work; one HTML page with linked sections is enough.
For this lesson
Summative · 8–19 October
Bring the research and design together
Reuse Research your website audience (Worksheet 1) and Plan your home page (Worksheet 2). Keep the audience evidence, three website comparisons, three home-page ideas, chosen design, and wide/narrow layouts. Do not restart the site or repeat the research.
Final submission: 19 October at 20:00 China time. Your current project is the starting point.
Finish your existing personal website
Improve your existing personal website using the home-page design chosen in Worksheet 2. Make it useful for the audience you researched. Keep the content and files that already work; one HTML page with linked sections is enough.
Due Monday, October 19, 2026 at 20:00 China time.
What the finished product needs
- Use real personal content. Make the home section explain who the site is for and what visitors can find. Include a short introduction and at least one real interest or work example with a relevant image and caption. Replace unfinished placeholders; do not invent achievements.
- Make navigation work. Give the introduction and interests/work content clear labels. Visitors must be able to reach each section and return home. Existing separate pages or anchor links within one page are both acceptable. Test every link.
- Keep one useful interaction. Keep or finish one interaction that helps the visitor, such as showing more information. Check its label and states. Native HTML details/summary is enough; custom JavaScript is optional.
- Use the planned layout. Follow your chosen home-page design and existing wide/narrow plans. Use consistent colors, fonts, and spacing. Text, images, navigation, and controls must fit a phone-width window without sideways scrolling.
- Check readability and access. Use clear heading order, readable contrast, meaningful links, and alternative text for informative images. Test controls with Tab and the keyboard; the focused control must be visible.
Plan for one week of focused work. Reuse the last two worksheets and existing project files; add only missing evidence or short notes about real changes. No new research report, separate evidence index, or rewritten answers are required.
Start: review your existing plan. Middle: make the final product. End: check the files and submit. Use the remaining lessons and short work sessions at home; the deadline stays October 19.
The existing assessment remains Criterion A /8 and Criterion B /8. Use the worksheets to explain research and design decisions. The finished product supports that evidence; Criterion C is not added. The existing rubric band descriptions remain unchanged.
Unzip into a new folder and open the start file. Test navigation, images, the interaction, keyboard access, and a narrow window. Fix missing files and keep earlier versions. No separate test report is required.

Package and submit
By October 19 at 20:00 China time, upload one ZIP to the Personal website assessment in Toddle. Include the final HTML, any CSS/JavaScript, all linked images/files, and the two existing worksheets with brief updates. Identify the start file, such as index.html. An optional hosted link does not replace the files.
Between meetings, finish the part you started and keep your evidence organised. If your last meeting is before 19 October, use the remaining time for your final check and upload.
Reuse your worksheets: short evidence checklist
The task numbers below locate evidence in your two existing worksheets. Keep adequate work and original dates. Add a short note, label, or file/page reference only where evidence is missing or the final design changed.
A
Inquiring and analysing
Maximum 8 points
A.ii · Research decisions
Worksheet 1, task 2: reuse the three prioritized questions, methods, and sources. Identify primary evidence (your observation/interview) and secondary evidence (published examples), adding a label only if unclear. Keep the priority explanation; do not repeat completed research.
A.iii · Existing examples
Worksheet 1, task 3: reuse the three personal-website comparisons and source credits. Keep the analysis of content, headings, images, and navigation; no three new studies.
A.iv · Findings and design direction
Worksheet 1, task 4: keep or briefly update the research-based brief so it matches the audience, need, final content, and navigation.
B
Developing ideas
Maximum 8 points
B.i · Success requirements
Worksheet 2, task 1: keep the four priority requirements, research links, and checks. Refine only what is needed for the final site; no new six-item specification.
B.ii · Possible solutions
Worksheet 2, task 2: reuse the three home-page alternatives. Add missing labels so another person can understand them; do not draw three new complete websites.
B.iii · Chosen design
Worksheet 2, task 3: keep the chosen design, advantage, trade-off, and genuine feedback/refinement. Add a few sentences only if the final site changes that decision.
B.iv · Planning drawings
Worksheet 2, task 4: reuse the wide/narrow home-page plans. Add a small page/section map with navigation arrows, button purposes, and needed files only where missing. Labels on an existing sketch are enough.
Keep the scope manageable
Reuse Research your website audience (Worksheet 1) and Plan your home page (Worksheet 2). Keep the audience evidence, three website comparisons, three home-page ideas, chosen design, and wide/narrow layouts. Do not restart the site or repeat the research.
The existing assessment remains Criterion A /8 and Criterion B /8. Use the worksheets to explain research and design decisions. The finished product supports that evidence; Criterion C is not added. The existing rubric band descriptions remain unchanged.
Grading rubrics
Your teacher awards one best-fit level from 0 to 8 for A and another for B. The strands guide the judgement; they are not four separate two-point summative marks. Worksheet totals are not averaged to calculate these levels. The rubrics are task-specific clarifications of the school’s MYP assessment approach, not a replacement for the applicable IB criteria.
Criterion A · / 8
| Level | What the evidence shows |
|---|---|
| 0 | The submitted evidence does not yet demonstrate the achievement described in the 1–2 band. |
| 1–2 | The work names a possible need for your existing personal website with clear content and a consistent design and records a small amount of research. The audience, research decisions and useful findings are still difficult to identify. |
| 3–4 | The need and audience are outlined. Some research questions or sources are identified with guidance. An existing example is described and some findings are recorded, but the connection to a useful project direction is incomplete. |
| 5–6 | The user need is explained. Research priorities and methods are mostly clear. The discussion of existing examples identifies useful features and their effects. Findings support a coherent direction for personal website, although some evidence links or reasoning need more detail. |
| 7–8 | The website need is supported by authentic visitor evidence. The research plan prioritises relevant questions and sources independently. Similar websites are analysed, not merely described. The brief brings that analysis together to guide content and navigation decisions. |
Criterion B · / 8
| Level | What the evidence shows |
|---|---|
| 0 | The submitted evidence does not yet demonstrate the achievement described in the 1–2 band. |
| 1–2 | A few basic requirements and one understandable idea are present. Planning drawings contain limited information, so the intended solution is difficult for another person to interpret. |
| 3–4 | Some relevant requirements and possible ideas are shown. The chosen direction is identified with a simple reason. Drawings show part of the solution, but important labels, relationships or practical requirements are missing. |
| 5–6 | Requirements fit the user need. Different feasible ideas for personal website are understandable. Reasons for the chosen design refer to requirements. Drawings and a resource list communicate the solution, with some details or justification still needing clarification. |
| 7–8 | The requirements use collected evidence and state how success can be checked. A range of feasible website ideas is understandable. The chosen design is explained against the requirements. Accurate layouts and a site map communicate navigation, content and resources. |
Submit by 19 October at 20:00 China time
By October 19 at 20:00 China time, upload one ZIP to the Personal website assessment in Toddle. Include the final HTML, any CSS/JavaScript, all linked images/files, and the two existing worksheets with brief updates. Identify the start file, such as index.html. An optional hosted link does not replace the files.
AI is allowed. Include your actual prompts and follow-up/revision prompts as copied text or screenshots, with matching versions where useful. Briefly note what you kept or changed and how you checked it. Add this to your existing worksheet evidence; no separate essay. If unused, write “No AI used”. Credit borrowed assets. Do not submit public chat-share links, account details, or private personal information; never invent research or results.
Keep the A and B sections easy to find. Check that your screenshots, diagrams and submitted project files show the same version. Your own decisions must be clear, including when AI helped.
