You Do: Unit Lab - Flask

You already have an app that prompts a user for a movie and then, looking up that movie in the OMDB API, either prints search results or finds the Rotten Tomatoes rating.

Using what you've already built as a base, now you'll create a web app where a user can enter a movie to search for, see the results, and see the details. Open the lab instructions in unit-lab-5-directions. Follow the instructions there.

• If your solution to the last lab didn't quite work, there's working code provided in the {starter-code} folder. Copy that to your local folder and work from there.

Try your best! Raise your hand if you really need help.

75 MINUTES

Teaching Tips:

• Make sure you change the link or point out what PDF to look at, and check the starter code location.
• Make sure all students start with working code - they can get it from the starter code file.
• The lab has instructions and an explanation in it for them to read. Make sure they're all opening the lab instructions okay.
• Stay on this slide until everyone's done or time's up!

Talking Points:

• Remember, throughout the course, there is a lab at the end of each unit. Each lab builds upon the last.

• Does anyone need help with the starter code?

Debrief: Unit Lab - Flask

How did it go?

Let's go over it.

Make sure you understand and your code works.

Talking Points:

• Bring up the solution (in the solution-code directory) and walk them through it. Be sure everyone understands - and be sure everyone's code is accurate or knows that it isn't.
• The next lab builds off of this one, but provides starter code if needed.

Questions?

5 MINUTES

Teaching Tips:

• Briefly review the high-level learning objectives for the unit.
• As you read each bullet aloud, ask students to give you a "fist to five". See Talking Points below.
• Observe student votes for each item, and make a mental note to follow up with individuals who are not feeling confident, or find time to reteach topics that the majority of the class is uncomfortable with.
• Take time to go over questions (but remember the parking lot).

Talking Points:

• Wow, we've covered a lot, and we're just getting started! Let's take a minute to review what we've learned so far.
• I'm going to read through the learning objectives for Unit 1. As I do so, I want you to tell me how confident you feel that you've mastered each one, on a scale of 0 to 5. -- Hold up your fist to indicate 0 - you don't feel confident at all that you mastered this objective. -- Hold up all five fingers to indicate 5 - you feel super confident. You're an expert!
