This is a little confusing, but it looks like they want an actual <header> element. It's part of the HTML5 structure elements. As opposed to the <h1> and similar elements.

Also, make sure your section and footer tags all come before your closing body tag. Think of the closing body tag as the complete end of all your content, so always put your work between the <body> and </body> tags.
