This should be done initially on their own in their books, after which both the students and the teacher will label the different parts of the diagram together; students will be encouraged to note the corrections in their books. Students will be questioned, after the previously mentioned activity, about where HTML documents can be created this is in a bid to pull knowledge from the students and help them think.
