Solução do exercício proposto

Segue abaixo duas soluções que usei pra resolver o desafio na primeira usei o conhecimentos adquiridos aqui no curso.

* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

.corpo {
    background-color: #444444;
    padding: 8px;
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr;
}

.cabecalho {
    background-color: #cc2a2a;
    border-radius: 10px;
    min-width: 50px;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin: 8px;
    grid-column: span 4;
}

.lateral {
    background-color: #45cc2a;
    border-radius: 10px;
    min-width: 50px;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin: 8px;
    grid-row: span 3;
}

.meio {
    background-color: #2aa6cc;
    border-radius: 10px;
    min-width: 50px;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin: 8px;
    grid-row: span 3;
    grid-column: span 2;
}

.direita-cima {
    background-color: #352acc;
    border-radius: 10px;
    min-width: 50px;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin: 8px;

}

.direita-baixo {
    background-color: #cc2a96;
    border-radius: 10px;
    min-width: 50px;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin: 8px;
    grid-row: span 2;
}

E a segunda usei algumas coisa de um artigo do css tricks segue o link:https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

    grid-column-start: 1;
    grid-column-end: 4 span;
}

.lateral {
