- Today's Quiz: Coding Vocabulary 2
- We will complete this quiz together in class.
- Today's Lesson: MineTest Monster Invasion
- Due to the technical difficulties from last week, we are revisiting this activity again today.
- Today's lesson will be completed in MineTest, which I have installed on the Lab computers.
- To begin today's work, you will need to complete ALL missing Code.org work.
- The smallest unfinished Code.org assignment is worth more in SchoolMax than the MineTest activity. Prioritize your grades!
- If you complete your Code.org work during class today, you will have to show Mr. Smith in order to move on to the MineTest activity.
- Mr. Smith will show the class how to log in, and the basic rules you are expected to follow.
- Last class you were told to make a house you could defend against monsters. If you were unable to do this because of make-up work, a house has been provided.
- Today, the server will be started up in SURVIVAL mode. You'll be given an additional 5 minutes of prep time before your home's defenses will be tested.
- Some villagers have been added to your town! It's your job to protect as many as you can. (Hiding in your home will not save the villagers who are outside.)
- You MUST NOT mess with any other students. Doing so can get you banned from the server. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Getting in the other student's way when they are placing blocks.
- Destroying blocks that are part of their build.
- Throwing things at other students.
- Spawning creatures that do any of the things above.
- This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. (The MineTest server cannot be logged into outside of the computer lab.) Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
- Due to the technical difficulties from last week, we are revisiting this activity again today.
