HTML Hunting in the World Around You

Go out and take photographs of stuff that has the same structure as the tags you've researched

In the last task you've put together some notes about each tag so you should know what you're looking for. In this task you're going to put those notes to good use. You're going to go out into the world and walk around your neighborhood taking photographs of stuff that has the same structure as the tags you've researched.

See a bunch of people waiting in line for a bus? Sounds like an <ol> to me. What about bricks that make up a wall? Could be a <div> or a <li>. Photograph whatever you think matches the kind of structure that you're looking for.

There are no wrong or right answers in this task. If you can state why you think something is the way that it is, then that's good enough.

Ideally you should aim to get two or three photographs for each tag, but everyone will get different results from the task. The important part is that you activate your mind to look for 'html like' structures in the world.

Go forth and hunt for about thirty minutes - remember to take care and be safe.

I'm in agreement with another poster who said in their blog that they liked the exercise, but it didn't really seem to resonate with them in terms of HTML... I'm a visual thinker, and I LOVED the idea of this assignment in theory, but sort of had a hard time "seeing" real world code... It can be interpreted a LOT of different ways, as is obvious from the posts on this thread, but I had some difficulty in "seeing" the connection to some tags... I guses I was a bit at a loss for what would be considered the "right" way to complete the assignment (trying to break myself of that habitual way of thinking!) Anyway -- here is my post for this task:
