Beginner Html Lessons (Version 2)

Lesson 3: The Story (Paragraphs & Formatting)

Goal: Writing text and adding emphasis. ESL Vocab: Paragraph, Bold, Italic, Strong, Emphasis.

• Concept: We don’t just hit “Enter” in code; we use <p>. To shout, we use <b> (bold). To whisper or emphasize, we use <i> (italic).
• The Syntax:
  • Paragraph: <p>My text here.</p>
  • Bold: <b>Important!</b> or <strong>Important!</strong>
  • Italic: <i>Fancy</i> or <em>Fancy</em>
• Hands-on Practice:
  1. Write a short paragraph (3 sentences) describing the video game from Lesson 2.
  2. Make the adjectives (e.g., “fast,” “cool,” “scary”) bold.
  3. Make the verbs (e.g., “run,” “jump”) italic.
