        5. Grading Rubric
          1. 2 pts: Modularity and Abstraction - Content vs Structure
            Their project guide contains a design sketch that distinguishes content from structure (i.e., all content is labeled with corresponding tags)
          2. 1 pt: Creating a Digital Artifact - User Needs
            The page is formatted in a logical way that is fairly consistent with their plan in the project guide and meets the user’s needs.
          3. 3 pts: Creating a Digital Artifact - Using HTML
            They use HTML to create a web page with at least 3 hierarchical heading tags, 3 paragraph tags, and at least 3 lists.
          4. 1 pt: Clean Code and Documentation - Readability
            They use white space and indentation to make code consistently well formatted, with nested tags aligned vertically to make them easier to read.
          5. 1 pt: Clean Code and Documentation - Comments
            Comments are used throughout the page to make their code more readable.
          6. 2 pts: Using Computer Languages - Precision and Syntax
            There are no syntax errors and the page renders correctly. All content is contained inside elements which are inside the <body> tag.
