Assistance with question

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the question is asking for when it tells me to group the tags to self contained pieces of content.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Blog</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Blog!</h1> 
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Articles</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Recent Work</a></li>            
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>

    <h2>The Main Articles</h2>   

    <h3>My Favorite HTML Courses</h3> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget <a href="#">feugiat ante faucibus</a>.</p>

The terminology takes a bit of getting used to. When they talk about "an element that describes self-contained pieces of content" they mean the article element.

For both parts

<article> <h3> blahblah </h3> <p> blahblah </p> </article> <article> <h3> blahblah </h3> <p> blahblah </p> </article>
