Creating lists with HTML tags - exercise 1
Instructors: The purpose of this exercise is to provide students with practice in creating lists and in using HTML tags. If necessary, have the students review the section of the lecture notes for Writing for the web III here on JPROF.
Students: Read the paragraphs below and rewrite them as necessary in the space below. Create a list from the information in the paragraphs. Use the HTML tags for the unnumbered list to create your list.
Review the section of the Writing for the web III lecture notes on creating lists here on JPROF. Creating a good list is more involved than just using the HTML tags properly. Make sure your list is logical and appropriate.
TIP: Write the list first. Then insert the HTML tags after you set it up.
Once you start, do not refresh your page while you are working or you may lose your work.

Election victory
The professor said Barack Obama, despite the fact that he was African-American, won the 2008 presidential election for a number of reasons. One was that there was very little chance that any Republican would win that election. Another was that the he had an appealing message
"One of the chief reasons, however, was that he had a vast organization of people he could call on to act and to give money," Smith said.
A high school world religions course
Modesto, California has the only school district in the country where students are required to take - and pass - a course on world religions.
Johansen High School in Modesto, California, sounds like any other, until the sacred Hindu sound - "ommmmmm" - vibrates from history teacher Yvonne Taylor's classroom. Today, she's talking about Hindu ideas of the cycle of death and rebirth. She teaches a nine-week course for ninth graders on the fundamental beliefs of major world religions. This nine-week course for ninth graders teaches the fundamental beliefs of Christians, Muslims and Confucianists, as well as Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jews - all tied in with the history of religious liberty in the United States.

Polio
Wild polio remains endemic in areas of northern Nigeria, where stigmas against vaccination, including rumors that the vaccine carries AIDS, and that it is meant to sterilize young Muslim girls, have made reaching full vaccination in the area impossible until now.
Much of the rest of the region had been declared polio free in 2005, but cases were found again last year in several countries, including five in Ghana, and three in Togo.

Home runs
By the time he retired in the 1935, Babe Ruth had a career total of 714 home runs. That record stood for nearly 40 years until Hank Aaron broke it in 1974. Aaron finished his career in 1976 with 755 home runs. That number stood as the all-time record for more than 30 years. Then Barry Bonds came along and broke the record in 2007. He finished his career with 762 home runs that same year.
Bees
Most people think of stinging insects when they thing of bees. Tarwater said they should thing of other things. Bees are the only insect that provides a food for humans to consume, he said. Bees are also responsible for pollinating much of the food that we eat. Placing a hive of bees next to a garden often increasing the yields in that garden.
"Besides," he said, "Bees have a fascinating social structure -- and one that is necessary for their survival. A single bee cannot live by herself. She needs to be in a colony of bees."
Tarwater said every colony has only one queen and that bee is the most important one in the colony.
