Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 25/02/2026
Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Be able to apply tags to text within a web page to display predefined styles including h1, h2, h3, p, i
Learning Objective/s:
  • Identify the purpose of heading tags (h1‑h3) and paragraph and italic tags.
  • Apply correct HTML syntax to create headings, paragraphs, and italicized text.
  • Demonstrate proper tag hierarchy and validate the page with an HTML5 validator.
Materials Needed:
  • Computer with internet access
  • Text editor or IDE (e.g., VS Code, Notepad++)
  • Projector and screen
  • Sample HTML file for demonstration
  • Printed worksheet with tag reference
  • Access to the W3C validator website
Introduction:

Begin with a quick discussion on how web pages are structured using tags. Recall the students' previous work on basic HTML elements and explain today’s focus on heading, paragraph, and italic tags. State that by the end of the lesson they will be able to create a simple page that meets the success criteria of correct tag use and validation.

Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5') – Review a printed HTML snippet and identify each tag.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10') – Demonstrate syntax of h1‑h3, p, and i tags and discuss hierarchy.
  3. Guided coding (15') – Teacher models building a sample page while students follow on their computers.
  4. Pair practice (15') – Learners create “myprofile.html” using the checklist of tags.
  5. Validation check (10') – Students run their pages through the W3C validator and correct errors.
  6. Exit ticket (5') – Write one tip for using heading tags correctly on a sticky note.
Conclusion:

Summarise how proper use of heading, paragraph, and italic tags creates a clear, accessible structure. Collect the exit tickets as a quick retrieval check. Assign homework to enhance the page with an additional section using the same tags.
