Mr. Smith's Instructions (This was recorded for 5th grade but the objectives are the same.)

  1. Objective:
    1. Work well around their classmates.
    2. Prioritize objectives.
    3. Balance functionality with aesthetics.
  2. Announcements:
    1. The last day for any late work for Q4 is Thursday, June 4th!
      1. This provides 2 weeks at the end of the Quarter for Mr. Smith to grade late work.
      2. For the rest of the Quarter we are using the PGCPS guideline of one day per lawful absence. Work from missed days will not be accepted after that.
  3. Previous Lessons: Lesson 3, Tux Typing 1, Lesson 4, Tux Math 1, Intro to Micro:Bit, Micro:Bit Buttons, Tux Typing 2, Micro:Bit Sensors, Tux Math 2, Luanti Circles
  4. Today's Lesson: Luanti Circles
    1. Today we are going to complete a lesson using Luanti.
    2. Students with a lawful absence who are making up work may attempt to create a "circle" using Voxels to earn credit. They will still hand in their sentences in the same location.
    3. To begin, you will follow Mr. Smith's instructions for finding and opening the Luanti app.
    4. Once you've connected, your first task is to create as close to a perfect circle as possible.
      1. (Returning students will recall that it's impossible to make a circle out of squares, but one can make something that RESEMBLES a circle.
    5. With your circle complete, go to Canvas and answer the question.
      1. How did you make your "circle" look more like a circle?
    6. With the time remaining, turn your circle into a starter base.
  5. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. LATE work will not be accepted, and make-up work after June 4th is accepted using the PGCPS guideline of 1 day per lawful absence!
