2. Required reading/viewing:
   
   https://www.htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/ - “Getting Started” through “Images”
   (There are 8 sections, “Next Page” is linked near bottom of each page)
   
   View tutorial video:
   “Introduction to HTML” (approximately 9 minutes): https://youtu.be/KuLYc6aT9ZU
    

3. Apply the concepts from the tutorials above to create an index page for your class site
   using Glitch.
   
   Create a Glitch account and use the “glitch-hello-website” to set up the
   course site; rename the provided index.html page as indexGlitch.html (never use
   spaces in naming web files) and then duplicate indexGlitch.html and give it the name
   index.html, this way you can start from scratch (Glitch’s index will remain available as a
   reference).
   
   Use the index.html (home) page to write a personal creative statement
   and/or goals for the class.
   
   To the index page write you name in <h1> tags and your creative statement in <p> tags.
   
   Create a link to a second page with heading and paragraph text. The second page may be lorem ipsum as temporary content, make sure second page links back to index.html (home page).
   
   Share your glitch.com live site link and code link with your Lab Instructor prior to the due date for your homework.
    

4. Each homework requires a brief written reflection. A reflection should not be a
   listing of what you did. It should present the ideas and meaning in the work that
   you create. The rationale behind the written statements are to expand your
   creative language and engage with your work beyond technical skills to being a
   critical and creative media maker.
   
   Similarly, there are articles assigned to read and then write a reflection. The
   reflection should not be a summary of the article, but rather how you connect to
   the content or an analysis of the material. For the article reflections, please
   create a separate html page titled “readings.html” and write each reflection on
   that page. On your course index.html page add a link to readings.html reflections
   page and in the reflections page add a link back to the index page.
