Activity

  • Watch Video #1 (below)
  • Create a e-Greeting Card. Theme of the card is Happy New Year/ New Beginnings. Talk to the teacher if you are interested in a different theme for your card.
  • You are creating the front of the card only.
  • In making your card, you must use For Loop at least once, use stylized text fonts for a message, create and use variables, and use the random( ) function to create some variations at each start of the code.
  • Think about whether some elements in motion could be included.
  • Use the Hallmark link below as well as google search for ideas.
  • Create a styled webpage using the basic wireframe shown below as a guide.

  • Use camelCase for variable, function names, or where ever appropriate. Make sure to give a TITLE to the website, use a favicon, and write a meta description in the head section.

  • Comment sections of your code in all files.

  • Answer the vocabulary and study questions from this lesson. All descriptions must be in your own words and relevant in regards to our class.

  • Advanced: Create buttons to add or initiate colors/actions on your e-greeting card.
