I teach a class for the Interior Architecture department at UNCG...
And this semester I've been introducing sophomores to **basic** web design,
in order for them to create there own web based portfolio.

A lesson that worked well for me was to create a very simple HTML 4.01
transitional document, print it out for everybody, and have them code along
in BB Edit while I explained what they were typing. Stopping periodically to
save and preview in a browser. In my classroom I have the benefit of a room
full of G4s and G3s and a projector to display what I'm working on to the
class. So that works easier for me than it might for you in a high school
class room.

I also create web pages to explain certain topics that might be confusing to
a novice, like directory structure.
