Description
+This week, we will write our first line of code! We will learn about + HTML, and how an HTML document turns into a website. We will also + set up our codebase through GitHub and develop a workflow for + managing our code throughout the semester. Lastly, we will learn + more about the nebulous concept of “the user”, and how it informs + how we write our code. +
+Assignments
+The assignment is broken into two parts. Please finish the following + things after choosing an existing piece of text you'd like to work + with.

Sitemap
+Using pen and paper (or figma if + you like), create a site map: a visualization of the + structure and navigation of your website. Think about how + you want to retell the text you’ve chosen and how you can + take advantage of the non-linear potential of the web to + create a new experience for the reader. How many pages will + you need? In what order should the user navigate those + pages.

Code it in HTML!
++ Based on your site map, transition from paper to code by + setting up your code environment and HTML files. Make sure + to build the hyperlinks so the pages can be linked to one + another. Build out all the pages you need without having to + worry about populating them with content yet. Is that too + many pages? Is the navigation interesting and represents the + idea of your storytelling structure? +
