###Article

This is where you talk about the topic. Explain it with a few paragraphs, make a few analogies.

Most of the time, you'll want to include a few short code snippets followed by a description of them.

You'll also want to include larger code blocks

Encourage students to run the code in these code blocks

Asking questions (that aren't answerable without running the code) directly after a code block is a great way to make sure they get run.

####Subheaders Subheaders are great ways to call out to the objectives, keeping your content aligned with objectives and standards.

• You can add Objectives as bullet points right after the headers

Have an inline CFU near objective call-outs
