Today's to-do list includes the following items:

    1. Announcements:
      1. Unit 2 Lesson 3 is graded in Canvas! 
        1. (Lesson 2's resubmits have also been graded.)
        2. If you did not earn a 4/4, your mission is to complete the following tasks:
          1. Read the comment I left for you in Canvas. It briefly explains what cost you points.
          2. Go to the assignment in Code.org. and fix whatever needs fixing. For many of you, it will be as simple as copy/pasting some code into the right spot.
          3. Return to the assignment in Canvas and use the space at the bottom to tell me that you're ready for me to grade your revised attempt. I WILL NOT CHECK THIS ASSIGNMENT AGAIN UNLESS YOU TELL ME THERE THAT YOU'RE READY FOR ME TO DO SO! 

          You get one attempt to fix your work. Make it count.

  2. Warm-Up: 
    1. Complete today's Proofreading Quiz in Canvas.
    2. Warm-Ups are usually a 4-5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
  3. Class Activities:
    1. Unit 2 Lesson 4: Mini-Project: HTML Web Page
      1. Handouts:
        1. Problem Solving Process with Design (Google Doc)
      2. Assignment:
        1. Remember the code you've been taught to use so far, and what it can do.
        2. With that in mind, use this planning document to design a simple website about a topic that's interesting to you.
          1. You will need to hand this document in using Canvas.
        3. Your work will ALSO be checked in Code.org!
          1. Unit 2 Lesson 4 in Code.org has 3 Levels (Bubbles).
            1. Bubble 1 is for your reference. You do not need to complete anything.
            2. Bubble 2 is where you should code the website you designed.
            3. Bubble 3 is where you should proofread your code.
        4. Level 3 is assessed using the following rubric:
          1. Key Concept Extensive Evidence (1 pt each)
            Planning A planning document was completed and handed in.
            Using Computer Languages Website uses HTML paragraph and heading tags.  There are minimal syntax errors and the page renders correctly. All text in the page is contained inside elements.
            Creating a Digital Artifact Website uses HTML tags to format the page, in a logical way that is consistent with the plan in the project guide and helps the user understand the page.
            Debugging and Clean Code Code is consistently well formatted, with nested tags aligned vertically to make them easier to read.
