htmlSongPoem6.doc probably needs an update<br><br>Feedback on teaching this is that you have to work very hard in the first few lessons but that both students and teachers see the exercise as a worthwhile and enjoyable challenge.

Hi Bill,<br><br>I'd love to see the worksheets & exemplar<br><br>Thanks, Janette<br><br><br>>From: Bill Kerr <<a href="mailto:billkerr@gmail.com">billkerr@gmail.com</a>></blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
>I like the back to basics raw XHTML and CSS approach using notepad<br>><br>>I wrote some lessons using notepad to develop web pages for year 9s at my<br>>school. We have 3 or 4 different teachers each year teaching from notes and
<br>>it surprised me that they have for the last 2 or 3 years all declared<br>>themselves to be very happy doing it with notepad. I had thought that they<br>>would have applied pressure for a visual editor.<br>>
<br>>The lesson sequence is:<br>>1) find the lyrics of a song or poem you like and some matching pics<br>>2) follow the worksheets to develop 4 different web page versions of this<br>>same song<br>>a) just HTML
<br>>b) simple style for headings, background colour, links<br>>c) heading in a box<br>>d) watermark background image<br>>e) simple menu<br>><br>>I can put the worksheets and exemplar on my website if anyone is interested
<br>>just yell out</blockquote><div><br></div></div><br>
