HTML training progress

I got started on the HTML training this week and it’s been fun! I already know HTML and CSS pretty well, but I’m looking forward to getting more familiar with JavaScript through this training. This week, I created the content for two of my tabs and started making accordions for my second tab!

Here’s the aesthetic I’m going for:

I did a draft of lesson 5, which chronicles sexism in the workplace in the 1950s and ’60s. Reminds me of the document-based questions from high school history.
