Ummm....I think what was asked for was this:

<div><div class="big">My</div> dog has fleas.</div>

Benjer -- if you use "id" you can only use it once on any given page. 
Using "class" means you can use it in many different places.

As others have suggested, the DIVs aren't probably the right way to go:
<p><span class="big">My</span> dog has fleas.</p>

<p><big>My</big> dog has fleas.</p>

So, for styling, your stylesheet rules would look something like this:

/* anything that uses class="big" */
.big {

}

/* the <big> tag */
big {

}
