I have no HTML experience, and I'm being asked to load external javascript into the webpage using the correct html

Where can I learn this information? Is there a place for learning html?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>

Treehouse has a ton of resources for learning HTML Basics. I'd suggest starting with the Front End Development Track. This will help you a lot! Good luck.

As for inserting that script, it should look like this. 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>

<script src="shout.js"></script>
</body>
