How would you model this simple statement in RDF?

I'm learning about the semantic web and I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of triples. As far as I understand it, RDF is a method of modelling data. It's a representation of how data is structured or connected to each other over the web.

RDF uses triples to represent the data structure, in the order of subject-predicate-object. Each actual data item is taken from it's URI. The URI matches data across different servers. A shortcut for URI in modelling RDF is using the Turtle Format, which is qnames (: ) + triples.

With this in mind, we have the statement:

David Lectures The Algorithms Course in 2017-18.

First question, where would this statement come from, or what is a statement in the context of a semantic web?

Second question, how would you model this in RDF? The way I see it, we would first determine the triple.

The subject is David.
The predicate is Lectures.
The object is Algorithms.
