- Walk through steps and the code using a powerpoint before having students go off to explore the code themselves. Below is a structure for the powerpoint:
- Start with an overview diagram showing the semantic names for steps.
- Add the particular files users of the framework read from, and write to, to interface with that step.
- Now is not the time to explain how the framework works.
- Then, walk through a specific example with a simple page.
- Contrast the above example with some small changes made in the user code.
- Be sure to explain this idea in greater detail:
- The sequencing of steps and what source code files are read that control those steps.
- After seeing these examples, have students run the contrasted code it to see what happens instead of showing them.
