    1. Lesson 10: Mini-Project: Adding Style to a Web Page
      1. This planning guide  will help you, but your work will be checked in Code.org.
        • This assignment is assessing the code and copyright, not the content. To that end, even the planning guide suggests you start with the work you did for Lesson 5.
          1. (You can even copy your code from Lesson 5 in Code.org, assuming it was formatted correctly. A mistake there is still a mistake for this assignment.)
          2. (If you didn't complete Lesson 5, then you have more work to do than those who did.)
        • Grading Rubric (2 pts each)
          1. Using HTML
            • They use HTML to correctly add all given images to the web page, including adding the “alt” attribute for all images.
          2. Using CSS
            • They use CSS to control the basic appearance of the five (5) different elements on the page.
          3. Clean Code
            • They use white space and indentation to make the stylesheet code consistently well-formatted and easier to read.
          4. Precision and Syntax
            • There are no syntax errors in the added HTML code or the CSS code, and the page renders correctly.
          5. Respect Copyright
            • All images have been cited, and credit is given to the creators.
            • DO NOT USE THE IMAGES PROVIDED BY CODE.ORG FOR THIS LESSON!
              • The citations provided say they were made by ChatGPT. ChatGPT was trained by stealing art from creators without providing citation. Crediting an art thief is not the same thing as crediting a creator.
      2. Permitted image sources (provided a citation is included):
    2. Lesson 11: CSS Classes
      1. Grading Rubric:
        1. 6 pts: Screenshots uploaded showing code on one side and how the code looks in a web browser on the other side. One screenshot should show the HTML code while the other should show the CSS code.
        2. 1 pt: Webpage uses a properly formatted CSS class rule set in style.css.
        3. 1 pt: Created CSS class modifies three different tags in the HTML document by selective inclusion of the class="classname" code inside selected HTML tags. (Use the sample website in Code.org as an example.)
        4. 1 pt: The three different tags are all part of the same section of the web page.
        5. 1 pt: Other sections of the web page are not modified by the CSS class.
        6. -10 pts: Any screenshot includes an image that was not used with permission. (A missing citation = a missing grade.)
      2. Permitted image sources (provided a citation is included):

  • Exit Ticket
    1. This week's exit ticket will not "go live" today, because how are you going to say what you did all week when it's the first day?
    2. 4 pts Proofread your work.
      3 pts What did you accomplish in CS Discoveries this week?
      3 pts What did you learn in CS Discoveries this week?
    3. NOTE: If you do not describe WHAT you did, saying you worked on it is not enough information to earn credit.
      1. Bad Example: "I completed Unit 2 Lesson 1" says nothing about what you did or learned. Describe what you did and what you learned as if to someone who does not have access to the course materials.
    4. Exit Tickets are always 10 point Classwork grades and not eligible for late submission or re-submission. They are due during the last 10 minutes of the last class of the week.
