| HTML, HyperText Markup Language, is a programming language that tells a computer how to display a web page. The HTML programs are plain text files with special "tags" or codes that a browser knows how to interpret and display on your screen. We will spend 5 - 6 weeks learning HTML and working on a project. Our main resource for learning HTML is via an online tutorial. |
|
About the Tutorial The tutorial has 20 lessons. The lessons prompt the students to develop a web site on the subject of the history ice cream. While students can work on these lessons at their own pace, all students must complete through lesson 20 in order to have enough of a knowledge base to complete their HTML projects. While students are given class time to work on the lessons, those students that fall behind are expected to attend extra help sessions after school or work on the lessons from home. Students will be required to complete 8 review sheets that reinforce the lesson highlights. |
|
About the Project The HTML Author Project will incorporate what the students have learned in the tutorial. Students will develop a 4 - 5 page web site on an accomplished author. Students will be given a list of authors to choose from but they may also choose one not contained on the list. The students will research their chosen author, both online and, in print if they choose. All resources must be cited. Prior to starting to develop their HTML code, the students will be required to plan their site using the web site storyboards before beginning the technical work.
Be sure to review what you've already learned about
the four basic design principles (proximity, contrast, alignment and repetition)
and other
GOOD DESIGN PRACTICES before
you start your project. |
