20 Days of Curriculum Laid Out with Specific Learning Goals and Sample Website Built
For the proposal, I have laid out what topic will be taught each week. At this milestone, it will be broken down even further to what specific skill will be taught each day.

I’ll be creating a sample website (student final project) so as to create the curriculum using a backward design approach.
