Prerequisites

Here are topics that should be understood before this topic. Try to minimize these and even if the reader has learned a topic, don’t assume they are an expert. Briefly reminding them of concepts is helpful for learning.

• Git version control

Motivation

Why it is worth learning this topic

• Include links to future lessons/work this will help with - this will plant the seed later
• How does fit this tool fit into the ecosystem? (if applicable)
• If a fellow engineer asked about this tool/technique, what would your succinct answer be?
• If it’s especially helpful for interviews, that’s good motivation
• Try to use rationale that won’t change. “X is popular” or “Big Company Y uses Framework Z” are likely to be stale quickly.

Objectives

The important areas you should leave this lesson knowing.

How to do X Difference between A and B Be able to build Y

Lesson

A high-level, skimmable introduction to the topic.

It can contain links to external materials but you should summarize here in your own words.

Common Mistakes & Misconceptions

This section is optional, but if there are common misunderstandings, please enumerate them here. List things that apprentices might not realize, might assume at first, or should avoid.

• i.e. Array.splice and Array.slice are totally different
• for (let x of obj) loops and for (let elem in obj) loops are different
• const variables are not immutable; they just can’t be reassigned

Guided Practice

Have the apprentices work with you as you do something step-by-step. This should be inlined here as original content, not just linked to an external tutorials.

Independent Practice

Class does this thing themselves with specific additional items. This could be alone, with a partner, or small group; but the idea is that it’s less guided, more independent.

Challenge

Building on the independent practice, here are some challenging optional add-ons the reader can do.

Supplemental Materials

Here you can link in external tutorials, official or unofficial documentation pages, blogs, videos, etc. - example website - short description (approximate duration to watch/read) - Other example website - description
