💡 Big idea: A wireframe tests usability before any code or final design is produced.
- 0-5 minWarm-up: where on a website do you look first when you open it?
- 5-20 minSketch main screen layout; place core message and call to action at the top
- 20-40 minApply two usability principles and label them on the wireframe
- 40-55 minPeer review: partner notes one confusing or missing element
- 55-70 minRevise wireframe based on feedback; note what you changed and why
- 70-80 minExit ticket: name the two usability principles you applied
- • Today we move from words to layout: you'll sketch where every element of your product lives on the screen.
- • A wireframe is fast, cheap, and brutally honest about whether your design is usable.
- • We'll apply two real usability principles and then test the wireframe on a classmate.
- • One round of feedback and a quick revision is more valuable than perfect polish.
- 1Sketch the main screen or page layout for your product.
- 2Place the core message and call to action where users see them first.
- 3Apply two usability principles such as clear labels and consistent navigation.
- 4Get quick feedback from a teammate and note one fix.
- 5Revise the wireframe based on the feedback.
- • Your wireframe applies at least two usability principles.
- • You revised it based on peer feedback.
- • The most important content should appear where users look first, typically the top of the screen.
- • Usability principles include clear labels, consistent layout, and minimal cognitive load.
- • Peer feedback on a wireframe reveals confusing elements before they become expensive to fix.

Day 4 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open Problem 5 in your myPLTW course shell and navigate to the current product-design activity, then build a wireframe or layout for your public health communication product.
Attach your revised wireframe to the Problem 5 evidence portfolio.
The privacy audit is done; wireframe build is a late Problem 5 milestone, so confirm your activity guide timing.
Wireframe photo or digital file with revision note uploaded as evidence.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.

What to do if you were absent
As a group, build a shared slide-deck or paper wireframe of the product, assign each member one screen, and combine them into one prototype.
Then submit your Notebook check on Schoology.
