Unit 9: Creating Submission Materials
Lesson Competencies
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Identify and gather all necessary components for your final submission.
- Write a clear and concise project summary for different audiences.
- Organize your project files and documentation effectively.
Stage 1: The Core Components
A complete submission package includes more than just your code. It’s a collection of artifacts that tell the full story of your project. This stage helps you understand what each component is for.
Activity 1: The Component Matcher
Match the submission component with its primary purpose. Click on the correct purpose below.
What is the primary purpose of a “Project README”?
Stage 2: Organizing Your Files
A well-structured directory makes your project easy for others to navigate. This stage focuses on the logical hierarchy of a typical project submission.
Activity 2: The Folder Sorter
Drag and drop the “Folder” cards into the correct “Description” cards. This helps you think about where each file belongs.
Folders:
- `docs/`
- `src/`
- `assets/`
Descriptions:
- Contains user guides, API documentation, and other written materials.
- The main directory for all your source code files.
- Stores images, fonts, sound files, and other media.
Stage 3: Writing Your Project Summary
A great project summary grabs attention and quickly explains what your project does and why it matters. This stage is a brief, hands-on practice for writing one.
Activity 3: The Summary Writer
Write a short summary for a social media app that helps users find local volunteer opportunities. Your summary should be no more than 1-2 sentences.
