Beginner Html Lessons (Version 2)


Lesson 8: The Reveal (HTML in WordPress)

Goal: Switching from VS Code to WordPress. ESL Vocab: Editor, Visual, Code, Switch, Update.

  • Concept: Show students that WordPress has a “Secret Door.” Even though they use blocks, WordPress is writing HTML for them in the background.
  • The Syntax: No new syntax.
  • Hands-on Practice:
    1. Log into WordPress. Open an old post or create a draft.
    2. Click the three dots (options) in the top right corner -> Select “Code Editor” (Éditeur de code).
    3. Challenge: Find the <h1> or <p> tags inside the WordPress code. Change a word inside the code, exit the Code Editor, and see if it updated in the visual block.
