THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!

    1. Announcements:
      1. Lesson 2 (2nd attempt due 9/25), Lesson 3 (2nd attempt due 9/27) and Lesson 4 (2nd attempt due 9/29) await your 2nd attempts.
        1. You MUST resubmit the assignment in Canvas for me to know you're ready for me to check it.
        2. I WILL NOT CHECK THIS ASSIGNMENT AGAIN UNLESS YOU TELL ME THERE THAT YOU'RE READY BY RESUBMITTING THE ASSIGNMENT IN CANVAS! You get one attempt to fix your 1st try. Make it count.
  2. Warm-Up: 
    1. Answer the following question in Canvas:
      1. Check out the web page in Unit 2 Lesson 6 Level (Bubble) 1 in Code.org. If you wanted to create a page like this, what do you already know how to do? What do you still need to learn how to do?
    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. Vocabulary
    1. CSS - Cascading Style Sheets; a language used to describe how HTML elements should be styled
    2. CSS Selector - the part of a CSS rule-set that defines which HTML elements the style should be applied to
  4. Introduced Code
    • color: value;
    • font-family: value;
    • font-size: value;
    • text-align: value;
    • text-decoration: value;
  5. Class Activities:
    1. Unit 2 Lesson 6: Styling Text with CSS
      1. Assignment:
        1. All of today's work will be completed in Code.org.
        2. There are 11 Levels (Bubbles), but not all of them involve a lot of effort.
          1. Bubbles 1-10 exist to PREPARE YOU for doing well in Bubble 10, but ONLY Bubble 10 has a rubric. You will earn no credit if you stop before you get to 10.
        3. Video Tutorials: Bubble 1, Bubble 2, Bubble 3, Bubble 4, Bubble 5, Bubble 6, Bubble 7, Bubble 8, Bubble 9, Bubble 10, Bubble 11.
        4. Bubble 10 is assessed using the following rubric:
          1. Extensive Evidence (4 Points)
            The paragraphs are a new color and size, and there are no errors or inconsistencies in the HTML or CSS code.
          2. Convincing Evidence (3 Points)
            The paragraphs are a new color or size.
          3. Limited Evidence (2 Points)
            The paragraphs have a special rule-set in the stylesheet, and the color or size property is used, but there are enough errors that the text does not change color or size. There is HTML code that attempts to link the stylesheet to the web page.
          4. No Evidence (1 Point, assuming there was an attempt.)
            There is no special rule-set for paragraphs or the color or size properties are not used in the rule-set. There is no code to link the stylesheet to the web page.
