Welcome to Tuesday! Today no Critiques – just a weird week with visitors, so I will look at your work on my own.
Game Day update with Aiden and Dylan?

10:05 Attendance and Article

10:10 Animation Series Multipage Website

This week are are going to work on our first multipage website. You may use many of the new techniques we have practiced including:

Flexbox
Nav
Anchors linking to multiple pages
Templatizing pages so we can make 1, copy it over and over, and have a consistent layout

First – we are going to have a topic draft. Once an animation series has been selected by a student, you can’t choose it. We want to see variety.

Content Requirements:

5 page website – make the first page perfect then copy it 4 additional times and fill with content.
- Home – index.html
  - Info on the series as a whole
- Setting – setting.html
  - Where and when does the show take place?
- Character 1 (you can swap out for character name) – character1.html
  - Bio for star character
- Character 2 (you can swap out for character name) – character2.html
  - Bio for secondary character
- Watch – watch.html
  - Give me a clip from YouTube of the show, or other site. If you can embed into the page with valid code all the better.

All content can be copy and pasted from online sources – we are grading you on the layout and web programming, not the narrative. No citations necessary – we aren’t masquerading as if we wrote this content. Think of this as similar to Lorem Ipsum.

Layout Requirements:

H1 for the main branding
Nav and links for main navigation
H3 for the specific page you are on
Images (at least 1 per page, all the same size page by page) and paragraphs / lists for the info

Technical Requirements:

Valid HTML
All style rules in external CSS
You pick 1 image size, and ALL images (1 per page) will be that size. Search smartly online or use Photoshop.

Create a folder called “animation” inside of “week_24”. Place your entire project in this folder.

Trust me – make 1 page that is perfect, and only copy and paste the pages once your HTML and CSS is done! It will make your life so much easier!

Extra Credit opportunity – pick a Google font for the H1 and incorporate into your design. How do you do that? Figure it out, that is why it is extra credit.

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

10 Minute break – you have to exit the room.
When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

11:00 Animation Series Multipage Website

Since this is our main day to work on this, we are going to give you the entire AM to get this complete.

This is due the day we return from vacation!

12:25 Lunch

No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

12:55 Attendance and Article

1:00 Steve Jobs Biography

Read along with Mr. Cronin. Improve literacy, word decoding, enjoy a nice story, and unplug from the world.

1:20 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)

10 Minute break – you have to exit the room.
When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

1:30 Speed Design

Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.

1:45 Afternoon Practice & Production

Animation Series Multipage Website

2:20 Dailies

2:25 “19 Minutes”

4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:

Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
Unplug

At 2:44 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.
