How this activity works
  1. Observation, not play. Five HTML observations of five DIFFERENT parts of the Breakout screen. The paddle, the score, the container, a brick, the Play Again button, the canvas — five different ones. In HTML the technical word for one of these parts is an element, but “part” works. Never describe the same element twice.
  2. Left panel: the passage. Right panel: the classwork form.
  3. You can submit early and reopen — click the “Edit your response” link on the confirmation screen. The newest version is the one that counts.
  4. MuggsArcade opens once your classwork form is submitted, and closes when the exit-ticket pop-out appears.
  5. Exit ticket today. A pop-out appears in the last part of class with the link. It closes at the bell — no makeup, no at-home.
What to look for

You are making 5 observations of 5 different elements on the Breakout screen.

An element is HTML’s word for a part of the page — a nameable piece the browser can find. The paddle. The score. A brick. The container. The Play Again button. The canvas. Five different ones, never the same one twice.

Only HTML today. For each element: a noun (what it is) and a prepositional phrase (where it sits). Ignore color (that is CSS, tomorrow). Ignore motion (that is JavaScript, Friday).

Five different elements. Five sentences. Each sentence: a noun and a prepositional phrase, nothing else.
