Give the document a usable structure
See this course’s project requirements
Deliver the repaired workshop notice and the review evidence assembled across all six lessons.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Provide clear event facts, action instructions and meaningful link labels.
- Show a semantic heading outline and logical reading order.
- Record image alternatives and a justified contrast decision.
- Provide timed captions and a descriptive transcript for the sample clip.
- Attach a keyboard trace, issue statuses and a scoped handoff.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Clarity: essential facts and actions are understandable without visual guessing.
- Structure: hierarchy and reading order match content relationships.
- Equivalence: visuals and media have meaningful text support.
- Evidence: tests and remaining limits are documented honestly.

The idea in everyday life
Readers navigate content in different ways. Some scan visually, while others use a screen reader’s heading list or a document outline. Making words large does not necessarily identify them as headings. You will organize the workshop notice into a small hierarchy that works in an editor and remains understandable when read from beginning to end.
A semantic heading is marked as a heading in the document’s structure. Making text larger changes its appearance but may not give it that heading meaning.
One step at a time.
Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.
- 1
Divide your notice into three sections: What happens, What to bring and Practice registration. Give the whole notice one main title, then put all three section headings at the same level below it.
- 2
If using a document editor, apply its built-in title or heading styles rather than only changing font size. For a paper alternative, annotate each element with H1, H2, paragraph or list.
- 3
Use a real list for multiple items, with one item per bullet. Avoid repeated spaces or manual line breaks as a substitute for a table or heading structure.
- 4
Read the content in its stored order. Ensure instructions precede the action they explain and that a sidebar does not interrupt a sentence or detach a label from its value.
- 5
Inspect the outline if available, or read only your annotated headings on paper. Save both the structured notice and a short outline proving that each section has a meaningful position.
See how it works.
Fictional outline: H1 "Community repair workshop"; H2 "What happens"; H2 "What to bring"; H2 "Practice registration." Under What to bring, a real list contains "One small household item" and "Any instructions already supplied with that item." These are instructions for the sample scenario, not a demand to upload a manual. Registration instructions sit immediately before the sample form link. Changing the H2 text to a 24-point bold paragraph would make it look prominent but remove its heading meaning in many formats. The structure must survive ordinary reading as well as a visual scan.
Did you cover these?
- One main heading and three peer sections are marked.
- Lists use actual list structure or clear paper annotations.
- Reading order keeps instructions with their action.
What to finish
A structured notice and its heading outline.
Watch for this
Skipping levels for appearance or using bold text as the only heading signal.
How can I tell I understand it?
The outline describes the content without needing the full paragraphs.
