Writing in HTML

Lesson Focus

Students will learn basic HTML and explore how code can translate into a final visual design, such as a web page. They will create a web page design, translate it into HTML, and then use the computer language to communicate their design to a partner. Their partner will then act as a web browser, converting the code into the original web page design.
