Today you take a page that runs on as one long lump of writing and give it parts.
By the end of the lesson your page will have:
Open the interactive on the board before the class comes in. The picture on this step is the finished page, so show it and say this is where we are going.
The starting page is the class's page, not any one pupil's. Pupils change the words to their own from step 3 onwards.
A long page of writing is hard to read. Your eye has nowhere to stop.
A subheading is a smaller heading that names one part of a page.
A reader looks down the subheadings, finds the part they want, and reads that.
Keep it spoken and short. Ask where the class has seen smaller headings before: a chapter in a book, the sections of a menu, a recipe.
The subheading block is in Content, beside the heading block.
Your page says a lot, but it all runs together in one lump.
Check: the writing runs on with nothing to break it up. That is what you are going to fix.
Half a minute of looking, then talk. Ask one pupil to find the bit about the dog and time how long it takes; that is the problem the lesson solves.
Your first part needs a name of its own.
This is the block you need:
{"blocks": {"languageVersion": 0, "blocks": [{"type": "wp_subheading", "fields": {"TEXT": "My Sport", "COLOUR": "default", "SIZE": "normal", "ALIGN": "left"}}]}}Check: My Sport sits above the hurling sentence, in letters smaller than the big heading at the top.
If it did not work: the subheading is probably outside the blue page block. Drag it again until it clicks in.
Model this one drag on the board, slowly. The rest of the lesson repeats it.
The drop target is between two blocks that are already there, which is new for this class. Say that the blocks move apart to make room.
The part about your dog needs a name too.
Check: you now have two smaller headings, each above the right sentence.
Faster than the first, because the move is the same. Watch for a subheading landing below its sentence instead of above it.
