Assignment

For this assignment you are to research the proper and appropriate usage of two new HTML tags. This information can be found in several places on the web, most notably the W3C's school link that I've included above.

For each link, you should produce a write up as to how to use the tag and where it might be appropriate to do so. Write as if you are speaking to someone that is just learning HTML and has never come across that particular tag. You will also be asked to share with the class your findings.
