Use this as inspiration to create a web page specifically for scraping practice. Host on CFSS website

Better idea: crib from this paper and related repo as a source of relevant data. Also directly tackles tables.

And something highlighted in the paper - emphasize the relevance of writing scraping code in an R script as opposed to Rmd file

Needs to be done before end of summer session. IMDB changed their website structure so the lesson does not make as much sense anymore.
