2nd Grade, Ward, 11-12 – Code.org Lesson 5: Collecting Treasure with Laurel

Published on

THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY!

Our 1st Quarter will focus on media creation, while or 2nd Quarter will focus more on coding.

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:
      1. Develop problem solving and critical thinking skills by reviewing debugging practices.
      2. Order movement commands as sequential steps in a program.
      3. Represent an algorithm as a computer program.
  2. Announcements:
    1. No late work for this Quarter will be accepted after Monday, January 12th!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter and is far more lenient than PGCPS policy.
      2. Work owed from unexcused absences will still not be accepted.
      3. Between January 12th and the last day of the Quarter, PGCPS policy will be followed.
  1. Vocabulary:
    1. Algorithm - A list of steps to finish a task.
    2. Bug - Part of a program that does not work correctly.
    3. Debugging - Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program.
    4. Persistence - Not giving up.
    5. Program - An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.
    6. Programming - The art of creating a program.
    7. Sequencing - Putting commands in correct order so computers can read the commands.
  2. Previous Lessons: Lesson 3, Lesson 4
  3. Today's Lesson: Code.org Lesson 5: Collecting Treasure with Laurel
    1. We will begin by using Clever to log into Code.org.
      1. Only Code.org logins done through Clever will show the work that has been assigned.
    2. Students are responsible for EVERY lesson they can see in Course B, though if they are caught up only Lesson 5 will have work to complete.
      • Level 1 is a video that we will watch together in class.
      • Levels 2-7 are for skill building. Don't skip levels, each reinforces what came before!
      • Level 8 is a Challenge Level and is extra credit.
      • Levels 9-11 are Practice Levels to review what was learned so far.
      • Level 12 is a Prediction Level where students look at code and guess what it will do.
      • Level 13 is an additional Practice Level.
    3. Grading Rubric:
      1. Students earn 1 point for each level turned BRIGHT GREEN by completing it.
      2. Pale green Levels are incomplete and therefore not counted.
      3. CHALLENGE Levels are counted as Extra Credit.
      4. FREE PLAY Levels are rewards for completing the work and are not graded.
    4. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
