Facebook wall

##Scope

This project involves creating a simple Facebook-like wall. The objective of this project is for students to practice their jQuery skills. Unlike previous projects, students are presented with minimal scaffolding.

##Before Class

Prerequisites

Students should only start this project after they have completed the other lessons and projectsin the unit.

Starter code

See here for code and here to view.

Solution code

See here for code (private).

Assessment

1. Students will be assessed based on their performance in the project.

##During Class

###Do Now

1. Attendance
2. Return graded do-now and exit ticket from previous class
3. Do-now activity

###Opening

What is the Facebook wall? How does it work?

Let's see a live demonstration by showing off the solution code preview.

###Lecture

You are going to build a simple Facebook Wall. Your instructions:

1. Fork this Repo

Do this by clicking the Fork button on the top right of this page.

2. Clone your repo into your own Cloud9 account workspace

1. Copy the "clone URL" from this repo
2. In your Cloud9 dashboard click on the green "Create New Workspace" button and select "Clone from URL"

3. Fill out wall.js

You must fill out js/wall.js. Unlike previous projects, there is very little starter code given. This is on purpose.

4. Test

To test if your Wall works as expected, post the following messages in order: "First message", "Second message", "Third message". Afterwards, your Wall should look like:

###Brainstorming Before you start coding, identify the list of steps you need to do to finish this project. Here's a start:

1. Read index.html. Pay attention to the IDs of the text box, button, and div at the bottom.
2. How will you detect the click on the "Post" button?
3. What should happen once the "Post" button is clicked? Will you need to generate HTML?

###Build Time Students will work alone on this project. The teacher's role will be to walk around the room helping students with any questions they have. Students are encouraged to look at previous lessons for reference.

##Closing Select students to present their work to the class.

###Check for Understanding Teachers should keep track of student success while they are presenting to the class.

###How to Submit This project must be pushed back up to your repo on GitHub. Then you will share your link with the instructor

To push to GitHub run the following commands in your terminal: git status
git add .
git commit -m "example comment"
git push origin master
