NOTE This template provides a structured and consistent way to create new checkpoints. Please do your very best to include/use each section of this template.
In this checkpoint you _________________________.
There are many new terms that you may not understand in this checkpoint. Take some time to really study each term and its definition below. Google each term. Make sure you understand it and have commited the definition to memory.
- Objective 1
- Objective 2
- Objective 3
- Use blah to do blah blah
- Use blah with arguements to solve common blah problems
Why is the student learning this? How would this be used in the real world?
This is where we show, teach, explain how to do/use blah
Put this new thing you learned into practice with the following exercise:
I think "This checkpoint introduces you to" should be "In this checkpoint you" . I think the subtle difference will provide more flexibility for instructors to write an overview that can be more clear for students. For example: "In this checkpoint you create menu items for bloc jams" . "In this checkpoint you learn how to add interactivity to web pages". The way your phrasing is now seems to lean instructors toward writing overviews that sound more like "This checkpoint introduces you to event listenerss and how to add interactivity to web pages" and sounds less personable. I know the curriculum material I wrote does the same thing and I need to go back and fix it. Just a suggestion.
