3rd Grade, Davis, 02-04 – Code.org Lesson 4: Debugging with Laurel

Published on

THIS VIDEO GOES OVER THE EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY!

Our 2nd semester will focus more on coding than media creation, though we will have other lessons sprinkled in.

Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will be able to:
      • Describe and implement a plan to debug a program.
      • Identify a bug and the problems it causes in a program.
      • Read and comprehend given code.
  2. Announcements:
    1. The last day for late work is Thursday, March 20th!

      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
      2. For the last 2 weeks of the Quarter, all assignments must be handed in on the day they're assigned unless there is an excused absence on file.
    2. Previous Lessons: Lesson 2, Lesson 3
