  2. Choose some of the following to express in HTML (don't worry about being too thorough!)
    1. an email [sample]
    2. a supermarket till receipt
    3. a restaurant takeaway menu [sample]
    4. a retail catalogue (e.g. IKEA, Next, Argos)
    5. a TV listings magazine [sample]
  3. Advanced: Think about the decisions you made above about which pieces of information you chose to represent in the HTML file and which you left out. Can you use the information for lots of different purposes? Which pieces of information are artefacts of the object you chose (e.g. the page numbers in the catalogue or the supermarket logo on the receipt).
