Dear IM 215/CIS 215 student,
Welcome to exercise number three! The exercise this week will be slightly different, compared to what we’ve done up until now. We are going to focus more on writing and less on technology.
- Fork this repository (look up in the top right corner of the page)
- You should end up at a URL that begins github.com/usename, where username is your username, not “dphiffer.”
- Click on the file
what.html - You should see a little pencil icon, when you hover over it it should say "Edit this file," click the pencil icon.
- Edit the HTML:
- Replace the placeholder text “Lorem ipsum...” with your own essay, responding to the prompt: “i never thought i’d [____], but then...”
- Replace the title inside the
<h1>...</h1>with an appropriate title. - Also replace the
<title>text at the top of the HTML file. - Make sure the total amount of text is less than 2000 characters (you can check using an online tool).
- Once you’re happy with your text, scroll down the page, enter a short commit description, and then click the Commit changes button.
- Go back to the main repository page and click the Download ZIP button to get a local copy of your files.
- Unzip the archive and open
what.htmlin a web browser (File → Open). - Print the page, as well as this assignment page.
- Make an appointment at the Bradley Writing Center
- Bring your printed pages to your appointment, ask for feedback on your text.
- Make additional edits to your text based on the feedback (follow steps 3–6 above).
