Every HTML document has a basic structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to HTML</h1>
<p>This is my first webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>

Explanation of Tags:

 <!DOCTYPE html> → Defines HTML version


 <html> → Root element of the page
 <head> → Contains metadata and title
 <title> → Page title shown in browser tab
 <body> → Contains visible content
 <h1> → Heading
 <p> → Paragraph

3. Practical Activity 1: Create Your First Webpage
