Project: About Me

##Overview

This project involves the students creating a 4-page website about themselves. Students will style these pages using a common style sheet.

##Before Class

Prerequisites

Students should only start this project after they have completed the other lessons in the unit.

Starter Code

There is no starter code for this project. To view how this project will be set up, look at the "I Do," "We Do," and "You Do" portion of Lesson 1 and Lesson 2.

Solution Code

There is no solution code for this project. The students can be as creative as they would like.

However, feel free to show off examples of personal sites like this and this for inspiration. (These links are also found in the Do Now.)

Assessment

1. Complete Do Now.

##During Class

###Do Now

1. Volunteer takes attendance.
2. Return checked Do Now and Exit Ticket from previous class.
3. Complete Do Now activity.

###Opening

What is a personal site? What are some advantages to having your own personal site?

###Introduction to New Material ("I Do")

Today, you are going to build a 4-page site about yourself. You are welcome to use the site you created in the last two lessons to get yourself started (Cloud 9 workspace called "link-practice").

Your website must have:

• A homepage (can also be your "About Me")
• At least 3 other relevant pages (Suggestions include: photos, contact me, projects/portfolio, etc.)

####Wireframing Before you start coding, identify the list of steps you need to do to finish this project. Here's a start:

1. On paper, draw a design for what you would like your home page to look like. Students must have their wireframe approved by a teacher before moving on.
2. Decide what color scheme you would like for your site.

###Independent Practice ("You Do") It's build time! Students will work alone on this project. The teacher's role will be to walk around the room helping students with any questions they have. Students are encouraged to reference previous lessons.

###Closing Select students to present their work to the class.

###Check for Understanding Teachers should keep track of student success while they are presenting to the class.

###How to Submit Students must push all final code to their GitHub repository. Students will then share the link to their repo at the project submission link found in the header of the Daily Session Document.

To push to GitHub run the following commands in your terminal:
git status
git add .
git commit -m "example comment"
git push origin master

After Class

• Prepare for next lesson / hand off to next volunteer in rotation.
