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:
      • Construct a program using loops to solve puzzles with repeated sections of code.
      • Improve existing code by finding areas of repetition and replacing them with a loop.
  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.

    8. Loop - The action of doing something over and over again.
    9. Program - An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.
    10. Programming - The art of creating a program.
    11. Repeat - To do something again.
  4. Previous Lessons: Lesson 2, Lesson 4, Lesson 5, Lesson 6
  5. Today's Lesson: Code.org Lesson 8: Loops with Scrat
    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.
      1. Levels 1-2 are for skill building.
      2. Level 3 is a video students will watch on their own.
      3. Levels 4-9 are for additional skill building.
      4. Level 10 is a CHALLENGE Level and therefore is extra credit.
      5. Levels 10-12 are Practice Levels to review what has been learned.
    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!
