Your page has parts now, but they still run straight into each other.
Today you put lines and space between them, so each part feels like its own thing.
By the end of the lesson your page will have:
Open the interactive on the board. The picture on this step is the finished page.
The two blocks are in DIFFERENT groups, which catches people out: the line is in Content with the headings, and the space is in Layout. Point at both once.
There are two ways to keep parts of a page apart.
Most pages use both. A line says this part has ended. A space stops everything looking squashed together.
They live in different groups: the line block is in Content, and the space block is in Layout.
They live in different groups: the line block is in Content, and the space block is in Layout.
Worth saying out loud that a space is a real block even though it shows nothing itself, because the same idea comes back in the list block later in the year.
Find the places on your page where one part ends and the next begins.
Check: the two parts run straight into each other, with nothing between them.
Ask the class to point at the exact line on screen where one part stops. Most will find it hard, which is the point of the lesson.
A line will show where your first part ends.
This is the block you need:
{"blocks": {"languageVersion": 0, "blocks": [{"type": "wp_divider", "fields": {}}]}}Check: a thin line runs across the page just above My Dog.
If it did not work: the line is probably below the subheading instead of above it. Drag it again.
Model this one on the board. The line block is in Content, with the headings, and pupils who remember the space block will hunt in Layout for it.
The line block has no boxes to fill in, which surprises some pupils. Dragging it in is the whole action.
Your third part needs the same treatment.
Check: two lines now split your page into three clear parts.
Quick. Same move as step 4.
