Today's to-do list includes the following items:
THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!

    1. Announcements:
      1. Lesson 3 (2nd attempt due 9/27) Lesson 4 (2nd attempt due 9/29) and Lesson 6 (2nd attempt due 10/5) 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.
        3. NO late work will be accepted after October 19th (2 weeks before the end of the Quarter.) To allow late work later than that would not give me time to grade it.
  2. Warm-Up: 
    1. Complete this code proofreading quiz in Canvas.
      1. It's a mix of HTML and CSS code. Be sure to review your answers any time you don't get a 5/5, then try again if you haven't used all 3 attempts.
    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. No new vocabulary today.
  4. Introduced Code
    • No new code today.
  5. Class Activities:
    1. Unit 2 Lesson 7: Mini-Project: Your Personal Style
      1. Because of the work involved, and as an attempt to help boost your grades, this assignment will be worth 8 points.
      2. Assignment:
        1. You will need a copy of this Project Guide.
          1. As shown many times before, you'll need to hand in a Share Link after setting the permissions to "PGCPS."
        2. All of today's work will be completed in Code.org.
        3. There are 4 Levels/Bubbles for Lesson 7, but 2-4 are linked and will all look identical.
          1. The Bubbles are split into 3 parts to chunk the project into more manageable steps, rather than have you do things all at once.
          2. CONFUSED? Remember, I made a video to explain everything!
      3. Today's lesson will be assessed using the following rubric:
