Extended Learning Module F – Building a Web Page with Html
Mod F-17
ASSIGNMENTS & EXERCISES (p. F.19)
1. FINDING FREE IMAGES AND BACKGROUNDS ON THE WEB To insert and use images and
backgrounds, you don’t necessarily need to scan them yourself. Literally thousands of
Web sites provide free images and backgrounds. Connect to the any sites that provide
free images and answer the following questions: A – how do you download an image? B –
Do you have to register at the site first before downloading images? C – What categories
of images can you find? D – Because there are so many sites offering free images, why
would anyone want to scan their own?
2. BUILDING A NUMBERED LIST OF LINKS In this module, we demonstrated to you how to
combine various HTML tags such as bolding and underlining. There are many ways in
which you can combine HTML tags to create a powerful presentation. One such way is to
create a list (either numbered or unnumbered) of useful links. Go to the Web site and find
five job databases (Monster.com is one). Now create a small Web site that provides the
links to those five Web sites. You are to present those links in the form of a list.
DISCUSSION
• We won’t show an entire Web site here.
3. MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO FIGURE F.1 Figure F.1 on page 3 contains some very
interesting information, but it does not include any links to other related Web sites and it
contains only one image. You have two tasks here. First, connect to NASA’s Web site,
download another astronomy image, and insert it into Figure F.1. Your second task is to
provide links to the main Web site for each of the six listed states. So, the state names
should all be links that will take the person viewing your site to each state’s respective
Web site.
